Joints ache really bad!!!

[BigMumma01]

Every since i had my little boy 11 weeks ago i have had really achy joints ..ankles..legs...hands.. fingers..back... my feet..
I get up int he morning and can barely walk...

Has anyone else had this?

Off to the doctors tomorrow xx

yep, I had this - it was worst in my knees and back and hips - and it didn't even start to ease off till I stopped bf at 4 months. it was totally gone by 6 months. I hated it, made me feel like I'd aged 20 years, made going for walks a trial, even lifting Adam and going upstairs was hard. Now I'm full recovered everything is so easy in comparison even though obviously I have a much much bigger child to lug about!

I believe it's the hormones, possibly prolactin. Not that the doctors told me that, but a midwife did (I was very achy from about 7 months pregnant and I presumed it'd go when I had the baby but it got worse ).

I was like this until Charlie was about 9 months. It's something to do with your ligaments loosening or something. Hope you feel better soon x

I still have this too...I agree with above that I think its all those hormones that loosened things up for delivery taking a loooonnnngggg time to get back to normal...ughh
