So the other day I was told by one of my former coworkers, who is one of my best friends, that when I came back from maternity leave. I was supposed to be on my duty now I work at Advance Auto Parts so I pick up, change, and carry batteries and rotors and they’re heavy. but what I didn’t know along with her at the time when she was here was when I came back, I was supposed to be on light duty not lifting none of that. I wasn’t told this until yesterday when she was told by our district manager, who she still talks to, as well as the cam who is over our commercial parts pro.
For better perspective I’ve been having math problems lately and at the beginning I just chalked it up to being the epidural pain that you get from the epidural injection after coming home but that’s subsided but then something came back to where I couldn’t sit straight up for a while. I couldn’t even hold my daughter for a long period of time without pain in my lower back. I went to the OB and she believes it’s not from the epidural, she think it’s the muscles from being pregnant everything not going back into place because our bodies take time.
Because now I have a tingling in my fingers it’s not an every day type thing, but it happens every now and then and it scares me because I don’t wanna have it happen and then my hands go numb to where I drop my daughter at the time right now is five months.

The fact of your fingers tingling sounds like aftermath of an epidural. You're not going to have constant back pain but it will come & go. Some days will be much worse than others. I had back pains for 7 years after my 1st child. I went natural with my 6mo old & haven't had any back issues at all.
