Any idea what's wrong?

Hello

I have a doctors apt booked. But since having my baby back in August last year, my muscles/joints hurt so so much on my legs/feet and also my arms?
It's so painful, when I sit for a long period of time I struggle to walk without holding onto something.
I also have extreme tiredness too, but maybe that's to do with the broken sleep! But I could sleep any time - I'm always so tired.

Thanks x

Could be many things, but anaemia is the first to come to mind. Have you tried taking magnesium?

@DustyLee123 yes maybe will try some zinc and also iron vitamins - it's just my joints are hurt so much! Very weird! Thought it would go after having my baby but 9 months on still so bad- maybe even worse! Xx

@DustyLee123 magnesium- not zinc 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hypothyroidism? After I gave birth to my last child I felt exactly as you describe to the point I thought there was something seriously wrong with me. When the GP told me it was postpartum hypothyroidism I cried with relief that I actually had an explanation for my symptoms. Unfortunately though it's with me for life but I take medication daily to help. Hope you get some answers soon.

@ThisIsMyHappyFacee yes this is how I feel! Starting to think something is really wrong with me!
Thanks for your reply, hoping they will tell me the same when I go! This did come up actually when I googled it! It's awful! I never had it with my first child xx
