Ovaries not Working?

I am almost 4 months post-op and I am suddenly (within the last month) experiencing severe joint pain, hips, fingers, shoulders, neck. I am wondering if these are signs of menopause. I had one ovary left in there just to prevent this, but my doctor "tore" it during surgery. I am wondering if he ruined it and that it is not doing its job. I am not having any hot flashes, or other Menopause signs. I wonder if it might be depression? I am really tired of hurting all day everyday. I am losing it quickly. help.

Hi.

On this website...http://menopause.bigbluebird.com/
I found the following...

First, here is a list of the most common 34 menopause symptoms. Take a moment to consider each one, as some are subtle and at first glance may appear to have no relation to being menopause symptoms:

1 - Aching joints and muscles

2 - Allergy symptoms

3 - Breast tenderness

4 - Chronic fatigue and morning sluggishness

5 - Cold or tingling hands or feet

6 - Craving sweets, caffeine, carbohydrates and unstable blood sugar levels

7 - Depression, anxiety and mood swings

8 - Dizziness, lightheadedness

9 - Dry, thin or wrinkly skin

10 - Endometriosis

11 - Facial hair growth

12 - Fibrocystic breasts

13 - Hair loss, thinning hair

14 - Headaches, migraines

15 - Heart palpitations

16 - Heavy or light periods

17 - Hot flashes

18 - Incontinence

19 - Irregular periods

20 - Irritatibility, inability to handle stress

21 - Lack of concentration, foggy fuzzy thinking, memory lapses

22 - Leg cramps

23 - Low metabolism

24 - Lower sex drive, loss of sex drive

25 - PMS and menstrual cramping

26 - Night sweats

27 - Osteoporosis

28 - Ringing or buzzing in ears (tinnitus)

29 - Sleep disturbances, insomnia

30 - Spotting, light bleeding

31 - Symptoms of hypothyroidism with normal T3 and T4 levels

32 - Uninary tract and yeast infections

33 - Uterine fibroids

34 - Water retention and unexplained weight gain, especially in hips, waist and stomach

As symptoms vary with each woman, I would make an appointment to speak personally to your doc about your symptoms. Although we sisters are a smart bunch, no advice takes the place of your gyno professional.

Please seek more help with him/her. Let us know how you make out.

Best wishes,
