I have just been put on HRT, but I've been getting pains in both legs and a slight sensation of numbness in my hand. Sometimes I hurt all over. Am I having a bad reaction to HRT?

It is important that you go back to your doctor about this. HRT is supposed to make you feel better, not give you more symptoms!

There are different types of HRT and it may be that your doctor can give you one that does not cause this.
