I had my son three weeks ago after a long difficult delivery ( forceps delivery in the end). I had severe back and leg pain throughout and an MRI scan a few days later showed that I had a serious prolapsed disc in my lower back. Any one else experienced this? I had to have surgery on my spine a week after Lewie was born as I was losing sensation in my buttocks and legs due to pressure on the sciatic nerves. I am recovering but would like to hear from any one else who had a similar experience.... and find out how long it took to recover. Not easy looking after a new -born babe after back surgery!
Thanks for any advice
