Delivered around 2 months back and now my knees pain so much, specially when i sit on floor and get up. Never had this before pregnancy. Did this happen with anyone else postpartum?
My pregnancy app tracker actually notes that knee pain postpartum is usually caused by the hormone relaxin still being in the system, along with posture shifts. I logged my daily water and calcium intake which helped me track the recovery. Definitely check if u are meeting your daily calcium goals!
Post-pregnancy knee pain is very common due to hormonal changes and the weight your joints carried. Please try to do light stretching, keep your legs elevated, and don't skip your calcium tablets.
After having my kids, my knees were quite weak for a few months. This happens because our ligaments get loose during pregnancy and take time to tighten back. Try doing very mild leg exercises and apply a warm compress for relief.
My knees used to hurt a lot while sitting down to breastfeed my baby. Breastfeeding takes a lot of calcium from our body, so if we don't supplement well, our joints suffer. Try to maintain a good posture and ask your doc for calcium pills.
I am going through this exact same thing right now, my knees literally creak when I get up! The doctor told me it's because of the hormone relaxin which loosens the joints, plus the sudden weight change. Make sure u take your calcium supplements regularly.
Let's be real, your body just went through a major transformation and your joints are paying the price. It's usually relaxin hormone or just plain calcium deficiency from nursing. Get your vitamin D and calcium levels checked, and start some physiotherapy if it doesn't get better.
Welcome to the 'creaky knees club'! Honestly, carrying a whole human for nine months puts our poor knees through a major workout. Give it some time, keep taking your vitamins, and avoid sitting cross-legged on the floor for a while.
I am still trying to conceive, but I have seen my sister go through this postpartum. She found a lot of relief by taking regular calcium and doing gentle stretching exercises at home. I hope your pain gets better soon!
