In November I started having pain in my lower back/coccyx. Wasn't so bad through the day - when I stood up from sitting it was a bit stiff but as the day went on it wasn't bad at all, but terrible on an evening. It was more my coccyx than my actual lower back and by evening if I was bending forward to reach something (say over the baby gate) it really hurt! I could still bend down and pick things up etc. Then for a few days I felt an ache down the back of my leg (sometimes left leg, sometimes right), and it was like growing pains.
Saw the GP, she explained about cauda equina and the signs to look out for, referred me to physio. The physio at the GP was fab! Assessed me and said she thought it was just standard back pain and referred me to a clinic at the hospital. The physio at the clinic saw me once, gave me exercises and told me to think positively as it helps with pain...
Few weeks on pain went, then started again but comes and goes. Today it was pain in my lower back, then coccyx, twinges at times when I was walking which wore off, and now both legs are aching like growing pains/restless legs, my left hip is aching, and also my left foot (as well as my lower back!)
I've had 2 pregnancies (2018 & 2019 with 10 months in between) both with ELC's, had PGP during my first pregnancy and had physio for it. My DD's are 1 & 2 so still want picking up and carrying (and my word I can really feel the pain in my coccyx when lifting DD2 in and out the bath!).
I'm booked in with an assessment with a private physio but would like to hear others experiences
