Does anyone suffer or know anyone who suffers from post partum arthritis? I am looking for a specialist in London and treatment for this condition so if any of you have any information, please email me. Thanks!

Hi,

While I can't recommend a specialist, I can suggest something that worked wonders for my post birth arthritic pain - krill oil. I experienced bad joint pain in both hands after giving birth and after 2 days of taking the capsules the pain decreased markedly.

My friend had non pregnancy related arthritis (he's a man!) that was so bad he couldn't even clench his fist but after 2 weeks of taking krill oil he said he received full pain relief.

The capsules are expensive but worthwhile.

Hope this helps!

Hi. I had very bad arthritis pain after giving birth. It was so bad that I could hardly walk when I got up in the morning. After scans and blood tests it turned out that I was very deficient in vitamin D. I was prescribed vitamin D in liquid form and after a couple of weeks it had completely disappeared. I took it for about 2 months in total and it has never come back. That was two years ago. It might be worth starting with a simple blood test with your GP before spending a fortune on physio etc. none of that made any difference to me and I only discovered that after I had spent the money.

Hope you feel better soon.
