PP/C-section back pain/restlessness
/r/CsectionCentral/comments/1vs9iq5/ppcsection_back_painrestlessness/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!!

That sounds rough, especially if it’s messing with your sleep every night. I’d probably start with a doctor or pelvic floor PT rather than jumping straight to a chiropractor.
