Aches

I remember reading a post a few weeks back when people were complaint they were waking up with achy bodies. Did anyone have a solution? Every morning for about a week I have woken up with a raging headache, a stiff left thumb and sore right wrist. The headache usually goes away within a few hours but my hands remain sore throughout the day. Advil helps but I hate to take it constantly. I thought it maybe dehydration so I drank extra water yesterday including 24 ounces throughout the night and I still feel the same. Any input s welcome. Thx

Re: Aches

  • Somebody wrote about "mommy thumb" and I think that is part of my problem. It doesn't explain my knee pain though.
    I haven't had headaches, but I go to the chiropractor regularly and that really helps!

  • Body aches to the max, but I don't know if that is just because I'm old and fat, or if it is a post-partum thing.  No headaches (for a change -- normally I'm prone to them), but my feet / ankles / hips are SO stiff in the morning and after sitting a lot of the day at work.  I'm dying to go swim laps because I feel like it will help stretch things out!

  • I'm still dealing. I checked out the joint supplements at the store the other day,but of course you can't take them if you're nursing. My sister recommended MSM; she has arthritis and fibromyalgia, and she was able to replace her celebrex with it. If you aren't nursing, I'd check it out.

  • My back and neck have been really achy for the last few weeks.

    I have "mommy thumb" (De Quervians) and finally had my steroid shot for it last week, so at least that doesn't hurt right now.

  • I have the stiff and sore hands/wrists, feet,ankles and knees. I went to the doctor and she ordered labs and X-rays and suggested a glucosamine juice which I haven't bothered with yet. I guess I will wait for the lab results and keep working on losing more weight. I have found that I'm ok as long as I'm moving but if I sit still for more than a few minutes, I'm miserable. Could be RA, could be weight, could be hormones still settling down. Whatever it is, I hope it gets figured out soon.
  • Not sure if this fits or not but I've been waking up with headaches due to clenching my jaw all night. Not sure why. I am a sometimes teeth grinder/clencher but its even worse since having DD. Also every single time I get out of bed my ankles are stiff and crack while I walk.
