Back pain after childbirth. Discomfort in ribs
Patient: Hello my names is Diana I m 19 and I had my baby about 6 months ago . I never had a problem with my back during my pregnancy but when I had my baby , a month later .., I have severe back pain like I rather die . It s unbearable and I always end up puking during the pain I get ! I feel like my ribs are squishing my lungs and my stomach ! It happens evey once a MONTH like no lie I m to young to be even having this ! I also had the epidural but they assured me that it wasn t it .. Doctor: hi diana back pain after pregnancy and lactation is very common . this is mainly because of increase lumbar lordosis and laxity of abdominal muscles, nutrional deficiency of vitamin d and calcium which is very common after pregnacy and lactation . Take proper calcium vitamin d suppliments, abdomonal muscle strengthening excercises as advised by your gynaecologist and the physio therapist . and if you still have pain after doing all this things consult orthopedic surgeon i diana
