A member asked:

My legs have been hurting for 3 weeks. they ache all day long and get worse by end of day. i have a baby and am breastfeeding. could it be hormonal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Leg pain: Probably not hormonal. Any redness? History of venous clots? If so, you should see a doctor. Could be activity related, but not to breastfeeding, or back related.
