So I’m 6 months pp and since having my little girl I have had progressively worsening joint pain. It started immediately after she was born, I couldn’t move my arms or hold her but assumed it was post labour (36 hrs). 1 litre blood loss and weeks of iron tablets made sod all difference. However it has got worse and worse where I struggle to hold her now, bend etc. I can’t sleep as constantly uncomfy. My knees, ankles and wrists/fingers are the worst.
I have been referred to rheumatology and they have ruled out rheumatoid arthritis as my RH factor was fine and anti ccp only slightly raised (22). Ultrasound of my hands was fine. Rheum thinks it’s hormonal.
I am now in limbo where I am exhausted, in constant pain where nothing is helping and awaiting a steroid injection/infusion to see if it helps.
Just wondered if anyone else has had this and how/if you recovered?
I am getting lower every day with the pain sad
