Stiffness in mom.

[amberskyfire]

Does anyone have any good natural remedies for mama stiffness?

Lately when I get up from a sitting position, I feel like an old person. It isn't painful, but it's like I'm stuck in that position and I don't even have to have been sitting there for long. I'm hunched over and can't stand up straight right away. It takes a few seconds for my body to be able to unfurl and I have to wait until my legs and spinal column unlock.

As my daughter gets bigger and bigger (she's 2.5 now and about 35 lbs) I am getting stiffer and stiffer with time. I'm pretty sure it's associated with not getting enough sleep sometimes and having to pick her up a lot and carry her around. I turned 30 this year, so maybe age is part of it, but I don't know if it's normal yet or not.

I'm in great health. I do everything "right" such as lifting her with my legs without bending my waist, exercising, and holding her an equal amount of time on my back, front and left and right sides. I have no back problems or pain ever. I never wake up sore or stiff. I feel really great usually. My diet is excellent.

calc fluor cell salt. Man. In a situation like this that can make a serious difference. it's kind of a chronic of rhus tox (a homeopathic remedy in which the keynote is pain that is improved by movements-like many types of arthritis or stiff joints...where you just need to loosen up, get the fluids and joints moving, and then you feel better.)

That would be my first suggestion without digging deeper into diet or lifestyle. Of course increasing exercise to get lymph moving is always a good bet as well!
