Knee pain

Hello ladies! Has anyone had problem with their knees during and after pregnancy? I had knee issues, both knees, since my third trimester and now 12 weeks after the birth of my daughter, I'm still having the same knee pain. I saw my dr and she recommended physical therapy I'm just not sure I have time for that. I'm returning to work next week (sad) so with work starting back up and caring for my daughter I can't really fit much more in at the moment. If any of you ladies have had similar knee issues and have recovered, what helped you? I've been taking Motrin and walking??? It's painful!!!
