A member asked:
1 week post partum . sore painful finger joints particularly stiff and sore in middle of night and in morning . also experiencing pain in balls of feet . did have swollen hand following delivery but that seems to have reversed . what could this be ?

Certain hormonal changes take place post partum which can give these symptoms. They go away in a couple of weeks or so. Pl try some stretching exercises and if needed Ibuprofen for a few days which is safe if you are lactating. If not better in a week or so pl see your OB/Gyn. Hope you feel better

It take a little time for your body to go back to normal after pregnancy. Most women experience some swelling in the 3rd trimester that resolved over the first six weeks after delivery. Monitor your symptoms. Your Obgyn can evaluated if they do not go away on their own in a few weeks.
