A member asked:

I have arthritis an it got worse after i had my first born, if i am in labor will the pain go to my knees where the arthritis is?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unpredictable: Pregnancy is kind of a low immunity stage so diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis usually relapse during pregnancy and you may feel better. If you are concerned about pain in your knees at deliver talk to the anesthesiologist about the pro's and cons of an epidural during labor and if suit to you, you should not feel pain at all.
