How old is baby? Get your bloods checked. I was diagnosed with high inflammatory arthritis after having my son. All my joints flared up 6 weeks post partum. Hope you feel better soon. I had horrendous back pain too xx

@Ruth oh that’s awful! Baby is 5 months old it’s just my back that is just so achy it’s making me feel so sick thank you will give that a go xx

Yep definitely ask for bloods to be done. It's more common than we realise for joint problems etc post partum. Epidurals can cause back aches too if you had one? My son is 4 in July but I'll always suffer with my joints unfortunately. On a strong drug for life. Had it years but nothing showed in bloods. Disappeared when pregnant and boom.... 6 weeks pp massive flare ups all over my body. This time it showed in bloods so could refer me. Might be nothing for you, could just be posture related but I totally feel you xx

@Ruth I had 2 failed epidurals went in too deep so had to go back to hospital after having him for a epidural spinal block😩thank you that’s really helpful I’m sorry u went thru this too but glad I’m also not alone x
