Suggest Treatment For Severe Back Pain Post Child Birth

I m 19 years old. I just had a baby 8 weeks ago. Before my pregnancy, I had bad back problems due to sports. It d hurt a couple days here and there pretty bad. But when I got pregnant, my back became a lot worse. Now, since about the 4th month of pregnancy, I have multiple small balls, about the size of a quarter, that move around if pressed on in my back. Since after pregnancy, it s gotten extremely worse and hurts all the time. My muscles in my back will never relax now and I m in constant pain. Plus whenever I twist to the right or left just a tiny bit, my back always pops. What could it be and what can I do?

Hello,

Lower backache during and after pregnancy is common.
I suggest you consult a physiotherapist for clinical assessment and to start lower exercises for muscle relaxation and thus pain relief.
In addition, an X-ray of the lower back can be done to look for any evidence of bone abnormality.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
