Painful joints

2 replies

I am 7 weeks postpartum (dd3) and my joints are still painful. All of them.once I get moving it eases. I didn't experience this postpartum with the other two. The doctor was rather dismissive and said come back in two weeks if it's still causing a problem. Has any one experienced the same? My finger joints are probably the worse. Is there anything I can do or do I just need to give it more time to ease?

Have you tried bathing with magnesium flakes and using a magnesium spray. Someone suggested that to me and it's been a total game changer. No more stiff joints (mine were mostly my hips). Hope it works for you too!

Thank you. I haven't tried this yet.
