Joint pain

Krisd6

i remember us taking about this a while ago... After my pregnancy I developed joint pain in my knees, ankles and feet. It is at its worst in the evening and after I sit or lay down for a while. It takes a while to walk it off. Anyone else still experiencing this??

Yep. Knees mostly. Some hip stiffness.

It's going away slowly. Internet research said it's the hormones wearing off and our bodies readjusting after carrying the extra weight from pregnancy.

I have had a lot of hip pain and stiffness since PP. I have tried more stretching, drinking lots of water, and am already pretty active. Those help but nothing has taken it away. Had to see OB for a visit at about 6mo pp and she said it can take a full year pp for hormones to level out. I have also had lower back pain which I've never had but think that's due to my core not being as strong...working on that too:)

I found that when i work out, the pain gets better.

I have this too, hips and knees especially. I notice it's worse when I wear her, so I was thinking I really need to lose some weight to decrease the stress on my joints. It didn't occur to me that the hormones are probably still playing a part.

Breastfeeding can prolong it too.

Exercise helps.

Exercise does help but I have this too. Especially when I first get up in the morning. For me it's feet, hips and knees. Wahhh, I can't imagine 4 more months of this.

Ankles really bad! I had no idea it was still pregnancy related. It's terrible at night.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add my feet hurt really bad when I walk after sitting.
