Is Post partum knee pain normal???
Anyone else experiencing post partum knee pain? I gave birth in Oct and ever since, I realised I can’t squat down/sit down on the floor cause my knees will be in soo much pain and feel so weak I literally need help getting up 😭😭 is this normal?
I also went through something similar before and went to Dr Henry Chan, my orthopaedic doctor in Singapore. Since I had just given birth and needed to take care of my child, I didn’t want to keep worrying about it, so I decided to get it checked. At first, I started with physical therapy since I had only recently given birth. It did help for a while, but my case was a little different and eventually I needed to have surgery as well. Thankfully, I was able to recover with the right treatment and follow up. My advice would be to get it checked rather than suffering in silence, especially when you’re already dealing with so much after giving birth. Everyone’s situation can be different, so it’s better to have a doctor assess it properly. Hope you’re doing alright too! 🤍
