Post partum joint pain
Hi all , I'm 7 months post partum with my twinnies and I am STILL suffering with knee pain and back pain ! Will it ever improve ?
I'm trying to work on my core strength but if feels like as I'm getting stronger my girls are getting bigger and the weight lifting them up and down is killing me ahha ! Any tips? Xx

It is worth enquiring if your local NHS offer PP physio. My area offer it as standard to twin mothers. Otherwise, your GP may be happy to refer you as a general referral.
I had terrible knee pain, it has eased a lot now though, they’re 12 months and I’d say it’s just got better- twins keep you fit that’s for sure!!
Maybe worth seeing someone / asking if pelvic floor physio would help. I found when I had specific exercises for pelvic floor that helped my back pain after my first bubs as my core was over compensating the muscles below.
Ehhhh my twins are almost 2 and my back is still TRASH 😅
I am in the same boat my knee and back pain is so bad been referred to a pain specialist and for MRI
Yeaah defo worth a physio appt i had one n they reassured me it's quite common. I had really loose joints for months and dislocated my knees three times! Really scary but again the physio reassured me it was my body adjusting to the pregnancy relaxing hormones too
