Delivered my baby 2 months back and now this sharp pain runs from my hip down the leg. It was there in pregnancy also but i thought it would go after delivery. Why is it still happening? anyone faced this post delivery?
I delivered two months back and had this shooting pain down my leg, it was from the pressure and posture changes during pregnancy and labour. It eased slowly with rest and gentle stretching. Hang in there, mine got way better in a few weeks.
It's usually from the spine and pelvis adjusting back after birth. Once my doctor cleared me, gentle stretches and short walks helped my sciatica a lot. Dont rush heavy workouts though, ease into it.
Mine lingered longer so I got it checked, and physio really helped. If the pain is severe, with numbness or not settling, please see your doctor. Dont just push through bad nerve pain.
After my C-section I had nerve pain too, partly from carrying baby on one side and bad sitting posture while feeding. Be gentle, use cushions for support while nursing. If it's not improving, do mention it to your doctor.
