have you looked into fibromyalgia? You do have to see a rheumatologist to get a diagnosis but its really common to have a hormonal crash after child birth and begin showing symptoms of this disorder... its technically harmless.. it just hurts like a bitch all the time. There are a lot of other symptoms too, you should look into it... might clear some things up for you ♥ I know it did for me when I started doing research 2 years ago...

I don't want to take pain medication every day because i'm still breastfeeding.

i just found out i have bad inflamatory arthritis, she was about 15 months when i started getting the pains. she will be 2 next month and im pregnant with the 2nd. i only just found out it was arthritis after i already was pregnant so they cant do anything for me now until after i have the baby. im hoping it doesent get any worse while im pregnant and carrying around all that extra weight but what can you do!

I found out last week that i have two broken bones in my foot. i just don't know why i have pain in my arms at the joints. The Md ruled out lupus and arthritis. I may have to see a rheumatologist. could this pain be apart of the healing process associated with child birth?

I did... between my legs. I get a sharp cramping pain when I try to separate my legs too much (getting out of bed) or bringing them too close together!

Since my son was born in February I've had severe low back/hip pain. The pain is in the left side, however an MRI showed I have a herniated disc on the right side of my back.m Messed up right? No one knows whats causing the pain on the left side.
