What Causes Back And Knee Pain At 7 Months Postpartum?
I delivered a baby girl 7 months ago. IT was a normal delivery. I've been experiencing pain in my lower back since. Standing from a sitting position hurt even now, be it from the floor or the chair/sofa. It hurts when I change my position while sleeping too. I end up sleeping in one position for a long time & wake up for a feed & change position. Also, my knees hurt too. Both the pains aren't there when I walk. I am only 32 yrs old, but I feel like an old lady. I am overweight.. haven't lost my pregnancy weight... I am 86kgs now. Please advise.

your symptoms definitely suggest that it is a problem.
some of the back arthritides can begin de novo or flare up post partum.
you need to see a rheumatologist who needs to work you up for spondyloarthropathy.
so dont ignore this pain.
