I'm fed up - I've got aching finger joints, aching toes (?!) and occasionally aching knees and feet. I'm still breast feeding DD but gradually weaning her off - so I'm actually feeding her less now - but the pain seems to have got worse in the last month or so (I didn't notice it before - but was generally so tired & run down perhaps it just was less bad than everything else I was going through ) . She is 8 months now.
Dr has done blood tests for arthritis - so far tests are clear but have to go for x-rays and see a specialist. I'm sure that it is in some way linked to breast feeding hormones and possibly the fact I was on 4 months strict bedrest during my pregnancy - has anyone had these sort of aches and found they went with weaning?
Or maybe at 38 I am just getting old
