What Causes Pain In Ankles, Hips, Wrists, Hands, Elbows After Delivering Baby?

Hi I ve just had my second baby 14 weeks ago. Since then Ive been having real problems with my joints/muscles. My ankles always hurt and also my hips. If I m sitting for any length of time when I try to stand I m all stiff like the muscle/joint have seized up and it s takes me a good few steps to feel like I could walk normal again. If my leg is sitting in a position and I try n move it again my knees seize up its like they lock. My wrists and hands are the worse! I can hardly push the pram or carry a bag of shopping I have to keep exercising then to get rid of pain. Sometimes to pain goes right up to my elbows! If I make a fist with my hand it feels all tight! What can this b a am sore all over! I m only 27!! Help!

hi ,14 weeks post delivery you have pain all over including back ,hip, knees hands, and elbow. Pain increases on exertion and are unable to do routine work. This could possibly be due to 1. Vit D deficiency 2. Muscle and ligaments relaxation during pregnancy. I suggest you start VIt D3 , Vit B12 with pregabalin and get S Vit D3 and S vit B12 blood tests.Also stretching exercises will help in the tests are normal.
