Good day all,

need some advice; has anyone taking progesterone cream experienced any pains in joints like arthritis - especially in the fingers area.

Appreciate any feedback.

Thanks
Dobster.

Have you been under a lot of stress? That can affect the adrenals, lowering steroid hormones and cause symptoms.
Hypothyroidism.
There's been talk that when you first start supplementing progesterone, you can cause a release of estrogen from tissues. This may be at play. How much progesterone you're using.

Hi @Peata,

Thanks for your response. Yes for a good many of years - Stressssss. All better now;not cured fully but getting there. I was researching on prog and got me a tube of Emerita's prog cream. It has helped me a lot, I've lost weight and am a whole lot calmer. The Estrogen theory sounds like the cause. Am using very little 5mg.
IF you can imagine squeezing the tube the moment the first small portion comes out. That's all I use every 3-4 days. Hope it makes sense.
Thanks
Dobster
