Sore knees after pregnancy?

3 replies

Hi all,

Anyone had severely dodgy knees post pregnancy? My lo is 11months and I was told it can be common for your knee ligaments to take a while to get back into place post pregnancy but I would have thought it'd sort itself by now??

Walking is fine, but if I sit up (usually with baby in arms so like coming out of a squat) they are so painful! Also some days they are achy going up and down stairs etc, down stairs probably worse and in both knees.

I'm not 30 yet and although I'm a bit overweight, I went back to pre pregnancy size at around 4m pp so not like I'm now much heavier. I'm a size 14-16 and now trying to lose some more weight in the hope it helps!

GP only doing phone consultations but did send me for Xrays and they've come back as normal, so not sure what else to do. I feel about 80 everytime I need to get up etc!

Anyone else had similar??

Not due to pregnancy, but my knees used to burn during my periods. My DM had the same problem. Had to stop wearing heels for 5 days a month!

I had this but it did clear up by maybe 6/7 months?

I hope it does for you too

Thanks @Phoenix21

I don't wear heels @newtb so can't be that!
