Do you have bowel problems? IBS? I have Endo ibs-c which causes alot of sciatica! and sciatica is the same feeling as arthritis.
However prolonged Endometriosis does caus arthritis also as its an eostrogen related disease, I`ve had it so long that my hair falls and I have nails like paper and creaky joints....its only a matter of time for me! but asprin and Flax seed each day is underrated.

Where you put on anything like Lupron after your Hyster?  You could have osteoporosis.  I would say no they are not the same in my opinion but maybe someone else has had similar.
