Back pain

I’m 9 days post c section and the pain in my back (possibly trapped wind?) is unreal. Im able to walk short distances, bend well and my incision is healing well. The only thing causing me pain is my back. Anyone have anything that works?!

Did they give you a stool softener? I found that this helped a lot with the trapped gas which actually did cause me more pain than the incision at one point

I did chakra alignment right after birth.

no they didn’t! It’s honestly so painful, right up to the back of my shoulder blades. I have a midwife visit tomorrow so I’ll have to ask about that.

Ah. I found that until I was able to get more regular again, I definitely had that similar pain

I went on a lot of walks to try to help!

I work with moms all the time on postpartum or other physical/mental/emotional stuff at core level to find and clear whatever the issue might be if you're open and interested. Xox 🤗 (forgot to mention: w/out drugs)

Are you still taking medication? They gave me Dihydrocodeine which basically causes constipation. Once I stopped taking this and took a Senna, my bowl movement was back to normal
