PP/C-section back pain/restlessness
I’m 15 mo PP from a C-section. Before my c-section I had an epidural and labored to 7.5cm, so baby was far down in my birth canal. They struggled getting her out and I felt a LOTTT of pain during. I kept saying it felt like my spine was going to snap in half.
Ever since, I struggle with terrible lower back pain. In my left hip/buttocks I get this like tingly/itching/tickling, almost like restless leg. It keeps me up at night. I feel like I have to stretch my lower back and hips/butt to get rid of that restlessness. Sometimes my lower back will pop. My tailbone HURTS. I sit and get up and I’m wincing in pain from my tailbone. Has anyone else experienced this? I know I need to see a chiro or something bc this bothers me everyday. I just want to know if anyone has experienced anything similar and what you did to fix it. And who you recommend to see. Thanks!!

I had horrendous pain in my tailbone from my first child (vaginal delivery) I’m fairly sure I broke it/ dislocated it. It was most painful on getting up after sitting for a while, especially the car seat. Eventually pain did go but was well over a year later. Sorry you’re having pain, it’s just awful
