Is it just me, my age or having children that change your body tremendously? After I delivered Blaine for the first six months I had horrible joint pain in my hands, feet and knees. It was so bad, it sent me to the chiro. where weekly adjustments and accupuncture were a must. Once again, the joint pain has shown it's ugly face. It is so bad in the mornings that the first step out of bed, I feel as if I might fall down!
I can't afford $115.00 a week to see a chiro and our lovely insr. doesn't cover it! I called my OB and spoke with her nurse who said joint pain is actually common post pregnancy - so for the time being I will band aid it with prescription Motrin and flexeril (sp?) - WHATEVER it takes to feel better!!!
It aggravates me - how am I supposed to lose the 40 pounds I allowed myself to gain after the 25 pounds of actual baby weight (for those that are slow to add = 65 pounds total) feeling so bad! Have I mentioned the huge milk jugs I carry around 24/7, oh my aching neck and shoulders! Then my 3.5 41 lb son wants me to pick him up, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! UGH!
I swear, if I had my prescription for xanax and wasn't BF'ing for our trip coming up (flying with two) I would so be all over it! lol I don't want to get old, lol
Here is to getting to sleep in until 9:30 (all three of us) and Leelyn is STILL sleeping! Thank you Jesus!
I am alive!

I agree, do what you have to do, medication whatever- you can't afford to be in pain with two little ones. I feel for you dear lady.
Love you- Jenn
Joint pain is fairly common among post pregnant women and it has to do with your hormones.
