Horrible joint pain

plastic · Mar 23rd, 2012, 23:33 PM

Prior to having LO I started having alot of pain in my knees and ankles which I thought was just weight gain, swelling etc.

But we are now 2 and a half weeks pp and it is still excruciating, I can barely walk up and down stairs my knees hurt so much, i struggle to even describe the pain, I thought maybe it was just horrible lack of musels but it's like grating inside my knee caps. I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced something similar and knows what it could be?

I had something similar. I thought mine was caused by hormones making everything stretchy. It gradually improved over a few months. If it's giving you a lot of bother, get it checked out with your doctor.
