Backache relief?

[mum2jaydon]

I had an emergency c section on Saturday and I'm really suffering with lower back pain, I'm taking painkillers but they're not really doing much, any tips on how to relieve it? Tia x

Congratulations on your LO!

Be careful! I had really back pain after having my EMCS with DD and ended up not being able to walk for almost 5 months. Just to take it as easy as possible. Alternate between Tylenol and Ibuprofen. Use a heating pad. HTH.

Heat pad , tell them it's not working they will give you something stronger

I've been suffering awfully with this and can't work out why either, painkillers do not touch it

I've had two c-sections and my back pain increased with each one. Lifting my two girls doesn't help either but I have a tendency to lift with my back (woops). I was never a fan of pills so I decided to look for an alternate means to decrease my pain. I found that cold really does work. It reduces any inflammation and reduces the pain. I also found an awesome product that stimulates the blood flow through the muscle once it is no longer inflamed.
