General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Some women do experience these symptoms post delivery and there is nothing to worry about. I would advise you to follow a healthy lifestyle including a healthy nutritious balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, reduce intake of caffeine, do yoga or stretching and strengthening exercises, stay physically active and take vitamin D3 with calcium tablets for 3 months. Gradually, your symptom will reduce and go off.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Anoop Kumar, General & Family Physician
