26 weeks chal rahe hai and suddenly my knees pain so much, specially when i get up after sitting. I havent gained that much weight either so im confused why. Anyone else faced ghutno me dard?
I have read that our bodies release a hormone called relaxin which softens the ligaments, and that can sometimes cause knee pain. It must be so uncomfortable for you. Please consult your doctor once and see if you can do some gentle stretches.
I am in my 5th month now and my knees have suddenly started aching so much, especially when I get up from the bed. Is anyone else also experiencing this right now? I am thoda worried if my weight is increasing too fast or if it's just normal.
My knees are definitely screaming because of all the weight I’ve gained eating my favorite pani puri and cheesy parathas lately! But seriously, the extra weight puts a lot of pressure on the joints. I've started sitting comfortably with a cushion under my feet while enjoying my snacks.
My mother told me to gently massage my legs with warm sesame oil, which did give some temporary relief to my knees. However, my doctor explained it's due to the weight shift and hormonal changes, and advised some basic calcium supplements. Please do ask your doctor before starting any massage or remedy.
Ho na, the weight gain and body changes put a lot of pressure on our joints. I used to apply warm compress on my knees, thoda relief milta tha. Try not to sit with crossed legs, haan na, it helps.
