Cause For Hives At Different Parts Of Body While Breastfeeding? Joints Itchy And Severe Pain On Arches Of Feet

hello. i am a 26 year old female. i have two babies and i am currently breastfeeding my 8 month old. I had an epidural for both births. i have asthma and different allergies.
i have been getting hives for the past two days in different areas of my body including my left hip, left elbow, underneath both armpits - right by the side of my boobs and abdomen. the abdomen one has gone away but not the rest.
today i woke up with a severe pain on the arches of both my feet. got worse during the say to the point of not being able to walk. it feels like a tight ball is under each foot and i cant walk.
my knees, elbows, wrists and head are super itchy.

Hi,
I don't think breast feeding has some connection with the allergy.It must be some food supplements,tonics, cosmetics or tolietries you are using.Even season specific pollen grains/insect bites may cause it. You need to-
- Recognise the allergen & avoid it.
-use nasal anti allergic while breast feeding.
The pain in arch of foot suggests calcium & vit D deffeciensy- these need to be supplemented.
Thanks.
