Mid And Lower Back Pain Getting Me Down Posted: 08-10-07 03:01am
hi all hope you all feeling pain free
today
I am seeking help and explanation for my
back pain which is really depressing me.
It all started nearly a year ago when I
lost a baby at 22 weeks pregnant. My first
2 children were born by C section so I had
never been through labour before.
With this baby I went into early labour. I
believe that this itself could be a
contributing factor towards my problems,
if not the biggest factor.
Shortly after leaving hospital, I began to
experience mid back pain. The area behind
the ribs behind and below the stomach
area. The muscles feel really tight around
that area most days and the pain also
leans towards indegestion type feelings
sometimes. I do not have any acid, any
stomach pain or anything other than back
pain.
I have also been experiencing really tight
neck and shoulders, however the visit to
the acupuncturist and chiro seems to have
sorted that.
Once my shoulder pain had been sorted, the
pain almst immediately shifted along to my
lower back.
This lower back pain has been around for
about three or four weeks now, it is much
worse in the morning, very stiff and it
radiates around to my hips.
The chiropractor said that my pelvis was
tilted, he has manipulated it and he
believes it is much straighter now. I only
had my last appointment this week but my
back is still feeling really bad.
I am worried because my back is hurting in
two places. Mid back pain and lower back
pain.
I also have a numb spot on my left knee.
My doctor has taken all sorts of blood
tests twice over the last 11 months and
there is nothing wrong there thankfully.
I am just in pain. Can anyone shed any
light on why I may be suffering in this
way.
Many Thanks
daisydeb

Did You Have An Epidural? Posted: 08-10-07 17:07pm
Was it near the place you are experiencing
pain? Just wondered if maybe you suffered
some kind of trauma due the epidural. I
had some problems after my epidural. I
had a spinal headache because they went
too deep or something.

Hi
thanks for response
Yes I did have an epidural
Do you think this could be the cause?
What symptoms have you had, and if better,
how long did you suffer for?

I agree with the above poster who
indicated a possible source of your low
back pain being from the epidural. It is
possible. The upper back pain you are
having sounds like gall bladder pain to
me. Have they checked that for you?

hi thanks for response,
my mom had her gall bladder removed at the
age of 30 so certainly could be a great
possibility.
i am going to docs on monday to get
checked for gall bladder or ulcer???

I am glad you are investigationg that.
Gall bladder pain is really awful.
