Hi

Looking if anyone has advice/experience on back pain. I have 3 children via C sections and 3 lumbar puncture within 5 years. My most recent lumbar puncture was the beginning of March this year, which failed it was painful, Had to be redone by a surgeon.

Since my most recent lumbar puncture I feel like I have been in chronic pain ever since, I've been trying to push through the pain as theres a lot going on with coronavirus and me wanting to just avoid the GP, I have been taking paracetamol/codiene when it gets real bad.

I have a appointment booked on Monday to deal with it. Has anyone got any advice on this?

I'm really struggling with a my boys my eldest is 6 and he has been really helpful with his little brothers who are 3 and 1. But I am struggling to do the most basic stuff with my children and myself such as bathing, cooking, housework. Everything Is a struggle...

I'm worried I'll be in constant pain forever
