About 3 weeks ago I could start to feel the strain on my back from lifting my baby out of her crib and moses basket but a week and a half ago I got out of bed and had such severe muscle spasms that my husband had to call 111 and get some super-drugs from hospital to get me out of bed (I couldn't move due to the pain) and to the GP who prescribed more of the same. I've had two sessions of physio since but the general day to day discomfort (not major pain) is not improving and I am still sometimes getting very painful spasms.
I'm really lucky that my parents are able to stay in the week and help because I can't pick her up - the pain is too severe - but it is not a long-term solution and I'm desperate to be able to pick her up and look after her myself.
Has anyone else experienced the same level of back pain/spasms after having a baby and was there any treatment that helped get you back to normal?
Thank you for any suggestions.
