Just back pain or possibly C-Section related

JPinkman · June 2013

I am going to f/u with my doctor but just wanted to see if anyone had a similar issue following a C-Section.

I had a C-Section on 2/25/2013. It was my first C-Section. I didn't have any unusual issues with the C-Section and I seemed to heal pretty quickly. Now, three months later, I have severe lower back pain - such that I can barely walk - need support to get up and down from a seated or lying position.

I can't pinpoint anything that would have started this - I just woke up this way on Sunday - so only 2 days of pain so far. I did not lift anything other than my daughters or engage in any kind of strenuous physical activity.

I just had my 2nd c/s 3w ago, but I haven't had any back pain from either (first c/s was 12/2009).

I recently had severe pain in my lower back. Mine happened when I went from laying on the floor to standing up. Didn't get up weird but it did something to me. Because I had a specific event to point to I didn't attribute it to the c-section.

I saw a chiropractor after going to Urgent Care (it happened on a Saturday and pain was unbearable). Between the pain meds, icing it and seeing the chiro, I was a lot better in just a couple days. Even now over a week later I still get twinges in the same spot, so I just make sure to stretch.

Hope that helps a little.

Same here my pain started in my back then because I was overcompensating my shoulders started hurting. I went to the doc and I am taking tramadol every 8 hrs. I am supposed to see a new doctor and also get Xrays done some time next week.
