Severe Back Pain After Child Birth Along With A Lump. No Relief With Acupuncture, Massage Therapy And Pain Killers

I had a baby 9 months ago. For the past 4 months I've been having back pain which has been increasing in severity. I chalked it up as carrying a baby / weak back muscles. A couple months back, I noticed a lump on my right lower back ( half way between spine and outter hip). This lump is approx 1".

I've been to chiro, acupuncture, massage therapist ... Nothing is helping. Unfortunately the pain keeps getting worse. Advil isn't doing anything to ease the pain, nor is heat or ice. Today it is almost unbearable and can now be felt in front of hip flexor and down right left (sciatic feel). I have an appt at my doctor Thursday, but am hoping for some advice / idea of what I'm dealing with. Thx!

Postpartum pain is very common. Its due to muscle imbalance. You need to work on your posture and strengthen the weaken muscle. Must meet a Physio and learn the proper ways to exercise and proper way to handle the pain.
Correct way to lay down, way to pick up he baby etc etc.

Good luck
