Please help.... I am in sooo much agony with my back that I can barely take care of my daughter and keep having to ask friends and relatives to help when my husband is at work and not there to help me.
It started about a month ago and my daughter is now 4 months and getting heavy. I checked the literature and found that you can take ibroprofen while ebf... (paracetamol doesn't work) so now have been taking anywhere from 1 to 4 times 200mg a day - depending on how much help I have. I am doing pilates and saw my dr who gave me a tube of ibroprofen gel which doesn't really help and told me to try and keep the ibroprofen pills to a minimum but didn't specify how much... Said I xouldnt have anything else while bfing.
So saw an osteo, had one app so far and I have more movement but still in so much pain. Don't know how I am going to cope. Now the ibroprofen is giving me tummy ache and for the first time tonight doesn't seem to be taking the edge off the pain. I am so scared it may be losing the effectiveness- what on earth will I do then.
I feel like I am a rubbish mum and a grumpy irritable wife!
Does anyone know how much ibroprofen it is sensible to take since my dr won't commit?
