Well, how do we know it's the relaxin?  Because the orthopedic surgeon
says so?  Did he measure relaxin levels?  What if he's wrong and she
gives up breastfeeding with no relief?  Then he'll say "I guess it
wasn't the relaxin".  Shouldn't other things be tried first?  Like
antiinflammatory medications.  How about ibuprofen?
