Foot Pain Postpartum

Tiffany

First time mom, here. Wondering if any other moms have had this experience in now or in a previous pregnancy. I started having stabbing/bruising pain in my feet during the last month of my pregnancy. Barely any swelling, just the pain when I moved my feet certain ways. I thought I had pulled something at first. I had gained a bit of weight in the last month, too. My midwife said that it was most likely inflammation and should go away after I delivered and lost some of the pregnancy weight. I followed her suggestions to minimize pain and inflammation. These helped but the pain has never gone away. I'm almost 12 weeks postpartum now (and considerably lighter) , and the pain has evolved into numbness, pins and needles sensations, stiffness, and sharp pains throughout the day as I move around. It still could be inflammation, but I'm not sure how long to let this go on before making an appointment with my general practitioner. This could be something common that I've just never heard of?

Anyone else have this experience or other mystery pains postpartum that you've had checked out?
