i had a section on monday just passed amd my back is killing me!!!midwife said it from the spinal and cos im breast feeding. its the only pain i have.

Hi! 

   I am also having backache  for three weeks now  and have finally booked for medical appointment. But will be glad if someone has a solution to this problem thanks.  Abena

I too had horrendous back pain afterwards but I was under the impression it was due to the way we positionour backs as we get used an expeanding bump! After a couple of weeks it disappeared and has been fine ever since. HTH x

i was going to aks about this too, had pain since the section with a spinal block and didnt know if it was a coincidence, aches when sat own or stood up, doctors here i come again!

yes ill do that thank you.it really hurts and its not going to get better on its own.i do think its manipulation i need rather than medication.its not painful as such, just really achey.

I had a back pain towards the end of the pregnancy and after my c-section = especially when standing to change little one or bending over to put her in cot etc.  I was also struggling to get out of bed in the am.  I went to a chiropractor (sorry if wrong spelling) and she basically looked at my spine.  If you felt my spine it was very curved at the bottom so she massaged and moved it back to where it should be.  It cost about £30 a session! but was totally worth it.  SHe explained to me that your spine takes a while to get back to normal after pregnancy.  If you can't afford to go to a chiropractor try going to the docs and requesting physio cos that helped me too - after a while I couldn't justify the cost and have been taught some exercises to do and that helps when it is aching.

i had a section 10 weeks ago with a spinal block and although i feel perfectly fine otherwise, my back is agony.its worse when ive been sitting down because when i get up i cant stand up straight for a few minutes.it feels like my bones are slipping out of place.is this a result of the spinal or am i just getting old ???? lol
