I have rheumatoid arthritis and celiac disease. I've noticed the joint pain is so much worse right before my menstrual cycle. Has anyone else experienced this? I assume it's from the changing hormone levels. I have little to no pain during the rest of the month.My doctor says there should be no relation, but it occurs every month like clockwork. He's referring me to a rheumatologist, but I still think there is a link here.

Call your Doctor And talk to him. Because I don't no. You have R.A I have O.A. But go over or call.

Yes,you are right,not only hormone levels,but also chemical stimulate levels.
