Pregnancy Info HOME

The pain is probably more likely from your spinal/epidural than from childbirth or pregnancy. A good chiropractor can help you get things realigned, and you might see some relief after just a few visits. Also, pregnancy has been known to trigger things like RA, MS, fibromyalgia, and lupus, all of which can cause signficant joint pain. See your OB and see if your symptoms seem to be lingering from the spinal or epidural, or if he/she thinks you need to have some bloodwork and x-rays done to rule out preliminary causes of muscle, skeletal or joint diseases like those I mentioned earlier. If necessary, see if the OB will give you a referral to a rheumatologist and/or neurologist. Hope you feel better soon.
