It is now 1/18/2012, I am now 7.5 months post partum and I still have the joint PAIN. It was determined that I have a thyroid issue and I am now on Armor. However, this is not relieving the pain. I have also been gluten/wheat free since mid November. I do feel a bit better not as tired and weak as I was. My body has really become sensitive since I had my baby. I ate a non organic steak last week and it hit me so hard and my joint pain really flared up. This has to be a reaction to hormones or antibiotics in the beef. After all this I am beginning to think this is a reaction to drugs that you are given during child birth and the toxicity settles into your joints and poisons your blood and causes your body to be off balance at a cellular level. Which causes your thyroid to go crazy (auto thyroidism, autoimmune disease). I have tried every supplement I can find, I found a product called ASEA this week and tried 2 oz and I feel a little better. I keep thinking that it could be a placebo effect and that I am just desperate. This cannot be taken while breastfeeding, unfortunately I have been so sick that I dried up after two months. That is even while attempting to breastfeed every 45 minutes. I will continue to post on my progress. I posted on 9/6/2011 regarding my join pain.

Baby is now 7 weeks and it seems to be getting worse. I did 2 rounds of antibiotics after birth since I did have a chest infection and they thought it was the infection settling in my joints, however I am no longer sick and the pain is still here. Going to my dr. tomorrow to get the referral to the rheumatologist, and will also be seeing my OB the day after that. I will let you all know if either of them have any explanations. In the meantime I will be starting my gluten free diet and vitamin regimen this week to see if I can get any relief. It is getting very discouraging trying to lift baby at night, and to get anything done during the day when the pain is so unbearable. Keep sharing, it really helps to know I'm not alone :) Hi everyone, I am also experiencing severe pain in my hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders and occasionally my hips and knees.

My knee joints hurt so bad I have a hard time walking up or down stairs and getting up with the baby after sitting is terrible. I use anything I can for support. My feet to my toes hurt terribly as well. My fingers, hands and wrists have pain on occasion as well. I am going to an NP this week, I will post an update. Thank you everyone for sharing, I have been so worried I can barely function. I experienced joint pain about six weeks after by baby boy was born, I am now 12 weeks pp and I am in so much pain.

It's been about six weeks since I had my baby boy, and these pains started about 2 weeks ago - horrible feet pain, then ankles, wrists, hands, fingers, shoulders, neck, even some strange pain in the ears! I mentioned this to my doc, he said it's probably due to post-partum hormonal inbalance... now I started doing some research on it online and found this forum - interesting to see that other women had/have similar experiences - please post any feedback, updates or any news, whether good or bad - anything that brings relief??? Or how long before this nasty pain goes away... I hope soon... hard to care for a newborn if you can hardly stand on your feet and barely lift a cup of badly needed coffee :-(...

I have recovered quite well but am concerned about the swelling adjacent to the scar. It is 1cm deep, 1cm wide and the length of the scar. Would acupuncture help and will this swelling eventually go down or is it here to stay? Regards Andrea Hi,
