I am menopausal and experiencing weight gain in specific areas such as underarms, breastbone, and back of neck. I exercise approximately 1.5 hours per day, including walking and biking, and consume between 1500-2000 calories daily. I have hot flashes, poor sleep, and no libido. My doctor did not prescribe hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and has not tested my hormone levels. Do I need to see an endocrinologist?

We've had a Tempurpedic mattress for 8 months and it's been very comfortable. However, after moving last week, my wife has been experiencing a stiff back all day, difficulty bending over, and lower back pain when looking down and using her neck muscles. We're wondering if the change in temperature affected the mattress's comfort, causing her back stiffness, or if she might have injured her back during the move. Could this be a pulled muscle, stiff back, or something more serious? She primarily complains of pain in her lower back when getting up from a sitting position or using her neck muscles, like when looking down.
