Sore bones after pregnancy

[Kptaylor]

Since having my daughter 16 months ago I have had extreme pain and stiffness in my bones and joints. I have been to gp a few times but not had much help. I was given iron tablets and ibuprofen gel which doesn't help much if it is my whole body!

During pregnancy I had pelvic issues and mobility issues but I remember my sore bones starting post pregnancy even when my baby was tiny
It flairs up now and then and it is difficult to care for my daughter some days.

Any advice? Gp suggested possible fibromyalgia brought on by pregnancy but said there were no tests for it.

I had sore bones after pregnancy as well - especially in my feet, weirdly.

I remember googling it and it is definitely a known side effect of pregnancy that can last for a while postpartum. For me it cleared up at about a year. I didn’t have any lasting problems.
