No, but my youngest is 3 so everything's back to normal. I did have carpal tunnel after I had her.

I had pain in my hands/fingers when I woke up for about a month pp. Currently my knees hurt but I think its because I still need to lost 15 pounds.

I am 6 months pp and still have tightness in my back. Not sure if its from the epidural or 3 hours of pushing.

@wrkbrk: 15 lbs at only 7 weeks out is "great!" I would have wished I was that close to my prepreg weight at that point! I read somewhere (kellymom, I think) that a lot of weight loss happens after 12 weeks.

ugh, so many.. I have nerve damage from the episiotomy, which is improvement from the initial trapped nerve and residual granulation. I also had diastasis recti and it's much better than it was the first year PP but my abdominal muscle wall will never be the same.
I suspect I have an abdominal hernia as well but I've been told it's not a big deal and if it causes problems, can be fixed with surgery.
I have some weird allergies and sensitivities since giving birth (4 years ago!), too..
Pregnancy did a number on me!

@MoonMoon: oh the 'roids.

2.5 years later and all my problems Abe to do with my butt. Tailbone pain and painful hemmoroids.

@simplyfelicity: Aw thanks! I was reading that other thread about how much weight people lost immediately and was getting sad haha. I only gained 30 so I think I expected more immediate results. I have 5 weeks before I go back to work and I am hoping I will be close to pre-preg weight by then!!

My bladder no longer has sensation so I don't know when I need to pee. Literally no feeling. I had no idea that could happen. I went to a dr about it and she can't say for sure when it happened but my bladder most likely got very full at some point during delivery/after delivery (I had an epidural so wouldn't feel the need to go) which damaged the nerve endings. They can take a really long time to regenerate she said. If it's not better in 3 months I'm supposed to go back for further testing. I saw her at 8 weeks post partum. In the meantime I'm supposed to pee every 2 hours to avoid my bladder getting too full and recreating the problem. And I'm not supposed to drink many fluids within 2 hours of bedtime so my bladder won't be too full from me sleeping for many hours at a time-kind of a controlled dehydration. It's awful. Really hoping the nerves heal and I don't have to go in for further testing. I asked what it entails and it does not sound pleasant. And I pee myself a little when running/sneezing.

No major issues except for excess weight I'm having trouble getting off right in the belly area. It seems like it is hereditary as the other women in my family carry a lot of belly fat postpartum, but its so uncomfortable. I'd really like to get rid of it!!

I have an umbilical hernia that I need to get fixed. I have some pain in my hips if I shift wrong.

16 months out and my back has never been the same. I've always had back pain but I swear that pushing and being hunched for 2.5 hours did some permanent damage. I get a massage every 2-3 weeks and it's not even a luxury, it's a necessity.
My c section scar is still sorta numb and sometimes sore/irritated feeling.
ETA: I think this counts too - still have sensitivity/tenderness on both of my hips from doing PIO injections for a couple of months. Started out numb, then burning sensation and now it's just very tender almost like big bruises. My doc said it's likely nerve damage from the shots and will heal with time. That was 2 years ago!
