Will my joint pain ever go away?

It does seem like an age, doesn't it? You're experiencing pain because you've lost the protection of higher oestrogen levels. You may find that taking a gentle herbal oestrogen helps and you can also consider a natural anti-inflammatory such as Devil's Claw, which works cumulatively to reduce the inflammation that increases pain when oestrogen falls.  You may also find that avoiding caffeine and drinking nettle and/or golden rod tea will help, by flushing out uric acid from your system.
