Back pain after c section
Show your support
I know this sounds awful but I find some comfort that it isn’t old me happening too lol. Honestly I feel terrible sometimes like it’s so painful to move, my husband laughs cos he thinks I’m being dramatic xxx
My husband is the same, he thinks I’m making it worse than It actually is. I have days where it’s so bad, I struggle to stand up, let alone pick my little one up & carry him anywhere. You’re definitely not the only one. I’m hoping when I speak to a dr next week they can do something about it, but I’m not holding my breath x
My knees are terrible and my back has been sore too and then completely went yesterday! I have a bulging disc 😭 Honestly same as you I feel so old, this second pregnancy has absolutely wrecked my body xx
I’m in a similar boat! My GP ran loads of blood tests looking for inflammation markers (but all came back normal) and he thinks it’s just hormonal and will settle although 4 months is longer than usual. You could ask for blood tests for piece of mind? Other than that we probably just have to be grateful our bodies made healthy babies and ride it out. Take care xx
I might ask the GP. Yes I agree we deffo are grateful love to have healthy babies xxxx
Lauren did you get the bulging disk after pregnancy xxxx
@Laura I did, my back and knees have been sore, my back was fine during pregnancy but I think having a section followed by a big baby who liked to be carried a lot it just went this week. Physio has said it's likely been aggravated by the section and I need to work on my deep core - he said sore knees may also improve once my back/pelvic region is better. What a magical time hey!
Unfortunately I have no advice on how to ease it, but I’m exactly the same! Everyday my back gets worse & it’s awful! I currently feel about 90yrs old. I’m currently waiting to see my dr about it as it’s making me miserable as well 😭
