Postpartum knee pain
I’m looking for some advice.
I’m 9 months postpartum and have been suffering with knee pain since my baby was around 2 months.
It hurts mainly to stand up or sit down. My knees also ache if I can’t stretch my legs such as car journeys.
I’m been to physio and I attend a postpartum strength and conditioning class weekly. Everyone tells me I just need to build strength in my knees but I’ve tried and I can’t say it’s eased at all.
In the last few weeks my lower back has become so stiff and I often have a burning pain sensation in my back. I don’t know why but I feel like the knee and the back pain are all related. Picking up my baby is getting harder and harder.
I am getting to the point where I’m stressed because I don’t know what to do. Has anyone else has issues with their knees/and or lower back after having a baby? What helped?
I’ve been to the GP to but she wanted me to wait a few months to see if things improved.
Any advice appreciated
