Are you and your physician certain the leg pain is related to menopause? This is not a typical symptom of menopause, although it certainly can happen!
What might help us help you:
1. Is the pain deep, aching, stabbing, dull, sharp, shallow, burning?
2. How long have you had the pain?
3. Is the pain constant or intermittent?
4. What makes it worse? What makes it better?
5. Do you have any health problems? Diabetes, arthritis, hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, COPD, cardiopathy, etc.?
6. Do you exercise? Do you sit a lot during the day?
7. Do you take medications?
8. Could this be restless leg syndrome? Read about RLS at http://www.perimenopausesupport.com/peri_site/legcramp.shtml

If you take medications or have health issues that may be contributing to this discomfort (as in #5 above) you may want to see your physician for evaluation.
