Hi all
I would really appreciate any advice or information that might help me. It would also be good to know if anyone is in a similar situation.
I had a baby girl 12 weeks ago. For the past 8 weeks or so, I've had back pain. It has progressively got worse and worse. I am now at the point where I can no longer walk without assistance (most of the time). I cannot lift the baby or carry her. I've had to get someone in to help me as I also have a toddler to take care of. I get terrible back spasms.
I have seen both a Physio and a chiropractor. The pain is so bad I can't lie on my back and they both seem to make things worse, not better. My Physio made my back soasm five times at my last visit so I'm not going back.
I'm on medication - codeine, naproxen and diazapam, but nothing is helping.
I have an mri booked.
Anyone experiencing/experienced anything like this post partum? Please tell me it will get better!
Some advice, reassurance etc would be most appreciated. I am getting depressed in was all I want to do is look after my children and if ant do that.
Thanks in advance...
