Aches after c-section

I delivered my son via an emergency c section 10 days ago. My wound Itself is healing nicely on the outside however I still have quite bad back pain when I am sitting/leaning back on the sofa which is the only position that I can get baby to feed from (with a nipple shield as he just refuses my nipple alone, breastfeeding isn’t easy Confused)

My question really is whether I can use a hot water bottle on my lower back when I’m sitting/lying down? Or if anyone has recovery tips.

I should add we were also in hospital for the first 6 days as we both had an infection, EColi in my placenta. I’m not sure if that could have made things worse?
