Hi, I was having some knee pain post delivery. My ortho took an x ray and says I have minor bone degeneration. Which is really worrying me as I did not have this before. My gynecologist says this is post pregnancy disorder which might improve after I stop breast feeding. I am having iron and calcium supplements and doing physio exercises. Do I stand a chance for betterment or is it a permanent disorder?
