    He just said to take panadol as i am BFing so can't take anti-imflamatory's.

    My hips still ache a little if i sleep on one side for too long but the knuckles are down to a dull ache every couple of days... if it gets that intense again i will be going back to my normal Dr and asking them to do the tests, otherwise i wait the 3mths, go back and see if that number has increased.

    Oh bugger bugger bum. I knew anti-inflamms were not recommended during pregnancy but was looking forward to being able to take them again when bub is here. Will have to see if i can find any that are ok.

    i was given anti inflammatories after c/s - they're not recommended long term though as the drugs can get to the baby via your milk

    You can take nurofen when you are breastfeeding (as long as you can take it when you arent - I think asthma contraindicates it)

    Oh no ZF! Search for foods that help with arthritis. I can't think of any off the top of my head but remember seeing something about certain foods helping ease the swelling and pain on TV once.
