When my daughter was 9 days old I was admitted to hospital with mastitis that had turned into sepsis. I was then readmitted again for mastitis when she was 20 days old (almost 3 weeks), luckily the second time it was caught early so didn't have the chance to go septic.

Since the first round of mastitis I have been having joint pain. Shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, neck. Even if I cross my ankles or knees for too long I hobble around like an old lady. My daughter is almost 2 months old and I'll be returning to work when she's 4 months old. I work in childcare so it's a very hands on job with lots of kneeling, lifting and getting up and down constantly, I'm worried that it could damaged my joints more or will at least cause me more discomfort. Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last? I'm worried the sepsis has permanently caused damage ☹️
