31years old, recently gave stillbirth on 37weeks and since have stiff knees and ankles in the mornings or after long periods of sit. any advice?

Any history: of autoimmune conditions?, these can be worse after a pregnancy. Ibuprofen can help with joint pain, but if continues let your doctor know what is going on with you.
