I know my joints haven't felt the same since having E, but my issues are more the same ones I had during pregnancy (hips/back type stuff) so it hurts to be on my feet, or walk/get up. I also have had a lot of joint pain increasing in my fingers/toes so I'm a little nervous it may be something like arthritis. But I don't know if the two are related. Mine may just be that I'm not active like I was before getting pregnant.

How has your activity level been since? Have you had any changes besides being pregnant (like diet, lifestyle, etc?)

As hard as it is to do, a gluten-free diet can do wonders for inflammation issues. I'd suggest going to a naturopath for a consultation to see what they would suggest.

@ladybee: Definitely a good step Let me know if you need any info on anti-inflammatory foods, or supplements that could help. My naturopath had me on some heavy duty stuff in hopes of getting pregnant last summer.

@ladybee: Each case can present a little differently - if you have it at all, I hope it's veeeerry mild. Keep us updated - I'm thinking positive thoughts for you!

@ladybee: I'm glad your blood work came back normal! I sometimes have pain in my wrist and knee joints, but it goes away after awhile. Maybe it's the weather?

@ladybee: I'm glad it came back normal! Not fun that you don't really have an explanation, though. Hopefully the meds help!
