Hello Doctor, I have severe back pain since last more than 6 months. I had 2 ceasereans. I have two kids. One 8 yrs old and one 1 yr old. My last C-Section was done on 5th feb, 2011. The place where they give the injection in the spine, that full area (horizontal) has severe pain. I cannot change my side while I sleep by early morning or sometimes cannot stand immediately after I wake up. Please recommend remedy. I am 37yrs old. thanks and regards, Lina
Hi Lina, Thanks for writing in. It is unlikely that the pain you are experiencing is due to the epidural anesthesia that you would have received during cesarean section. I would suggest the following:a. Start exercising. You need to be walking for 50 minutes daily for 5 days a week. Lose excessive weight through a combination of diet and exercise. Avoid forward bending and picking up heavy weighted. An MRI of the back (particularly the lumbosacral region) would be needed to rule out a process which is impinging on a nerve.  I would suggest you see an orthopedic surgeon at the earliest. This would be needed for a detailed examination and proper treatment. Hope this helps.
