Post Pregnancy - Joint Pain!

Does anyone elses joints actually HURT? I swear I literally feel like I creek to the bathroom in the morning and I just hurt all day long.

Re: Post Pregnancy - Joint Pain!

I had a lot of joint pain after having DS. It was mostly in my wrists and knees. I honestly never thought it would go away.

I can tell you that at some point it did stop hurting. I can't remember when it stopped, but DS is 2 now and it's been a while since they were bothering me!

as the beginning yes... i actually ended up going to my gp about it... he told me it was due to the shift in body weight... it lasted a few months

I was JUST about to post this. I thought maybe I was just getting old, lol. My knees, hips, ankles....they're all killing me. I'm 6 weeks PP but they didnt start getting painful until this past week.

Re: Post Pregnancy - Joint Pain!

I had joint pain, mostly in my knees, ankles, and wrists, but also other places at times after delivering DS, but I was diagnosed with lupus after he was born, which explains it. In my case it kept getting worse over time, not better, and I especially had trouble first thing in the morning (could barely walk) and going down stairs.

If it continues, see your doctor to rule out anything like this or rheumotoid arthritis, both can be triggered by hormonal surges. This is not to say you have either condition though, don't mean to worry you, just mentionint it.
