Postpartum joint pain?

Does this happen and is it likely that the joint pain (knees, hips, wrists) that I'm having 5 weeks postpartum is related to hormonal changes?  Does anyone have any info?  I'll ask my doctor but my appointment isn't for another 3 weeks.

 Thanks

    My knees hurt terribly around 6w pp.  It lasted until around 12w.  My midwife said it was from the hormones.

    I'm also experiencing this and read that it is related to the relaxin left over in your body from pregnancy.  It is so bad in my knees that I dread getting up sometimes.  If it is still this bad when I go in for my 6 week checkup, I was going to ask about medication.

    I had horrible pain after having DS, and it was bad enough that my OB sent me to physical therapy. It only took 4 or so times going before I was feeling relief. Most of my pain was in my hips and the biggest thing that helped that was sleeping with a pillow between my knees.
