Anyone experienced knee pain after giving birth?

I've been having knee pain since giving birth, and it's starting to affect my daily activities, especially when carrying my baby, squatting or getting up after sitting for a while. I initially thought it was just part of postpartum recovery, but the discomfort has been quite persistent. Has anyone gone through something similar? Did you consult an orthopaedic doctor or was physiotherapy enough to help? Would appreciate any advice or recommendations for a knee specialist in Singapore. Thank you!

Hi! I experienced knee pain too and eventually decided to get it checked by an orthopaedic doctor. I consulted Dr Alan Cheung here in Singapore, and after further assessment, I found out I had a meniscus tear that required surgery. Recovery took some time, but I'm glad I had it checked instead of just putting up with the pain. Of course, your situation could be different, and not all knee problems require surgery. Since the pain is already affecting your daily activities, especially while caring for your baby, I'd suggest getting it assessed first to understand what's causing it. Hope you feel better soon! ❤️
