[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you been to an orthopedist? You can develop osteoarthritis in your 30s. The pregnancy weight gain and ligament loosening may have contributed to it. Or it could just be a natural evolution of how your body was going to age.

Pain in joints can also be inflammatory arthritis. I know you mentioned going to a rheumatologist, but there isn’t a definitive test for it other than sticking a needle in your joints. You may not fit the obvious profile for inflammatory arthritis but there are meds that you can try to see if they provide relief. They usually work within a day or 2.[/quote]

Thank you. I have been two rheumatologists and they weren’t helpful. One referred me to a sports medicine doctor and he couldn’t help. He took X-rays of my knees which showed nothing wrong and then told me sometimes doctors can’t figure it out and don’t let this pain define me. 
the first rheumatologist I saw wanted to wait until I was 1 year postpartum before giving me knee injections. I moved shortly after 1 year postpartum to a new state. Maybe a different speciality would be a good idea.
