Stiff joints & aches!

Has anyone else gotten stiff pain in their joints (specifically in your fingers, wrist & knees). I figured the hand pains were related to carpal tunnel but when I went to a neurologist this week, he told me that some of the pain was carpal tunnel related but the joint pain was not. He has no idea what could be causing the pain.

Could it be pregnancy related? I haven't had the chance to speak to my OB about it yet - but I will be seeing her next week & asking.

I've never had joint pain before and I honestly feel like a 90 year old woman at times!

Are you swelling a lot?
I find when I swell and retain fluid my hands get SOOO stiff and almost arthritic.

I have the achy joint issue and I feel as I near the end my swelling def makes it worse. Try to stay really hydrated...I wasn't swelling and thought I was fine, but was severely dehydrated.

I am only starting to swell now with 2 1/2 weeks to go and took my rings off just to be safe.

Other than that, sometimes Tylenol alleviates the joint pain, but unfortunately it is fairly normal and just something I have dealt with.

Feel Better!!!
