It did eventually get better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-back-spasms#post-705557 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 14:00:01 +0000 Dandelion 705557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: I would just like to sit normally again, lol</p> <p>I do have epsom salts, so I'll definitely use them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-back-spasms#post-705545 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:57:14 +0000 loveisstrange 705545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: Do a hot bath with some epsom salts, it really helps ease muscle aches. I had the tailbone issue too. Im pretty sure my giant baby cracked mine because it took months to heal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-back-spasms#post-705540 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:55:52 +0000 Lindsay05 705540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had lots of different temporary ailments. It seemed as if one gets better and a new one arises. For me it helped to just stay moving and lots of stretching. Your body goes through a lot and it needs to get re-aligned so to speak. I hope you feel better soon :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-back-spasms#post-705530 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:52:43 +0000 Dandelion 705530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: Yeah, I did...but I remember having these spasms at the end of the pregnancy, too, so I didn't think much of the epidural.</p> <p>A hot bath sounds nice. I might do that tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-back-spasms#post-705524 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:51:15 +0000 loveisstrange 705524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them for a couple of months, generally in the same area as my epi. Did you get one? Doing gentle stretches and taking hot baths helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-back-spasms#post-705517 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:47:31 +0000 Dandelion 705517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: I've been living on ibuprofen for my epi and tailbone anyways, but have been weaning off of it, since I'm slowly feeling better. Maybe that's why they've started to spring up? Glad I got plenty of ibuprofen. I'll ask the dr about it at my pp check up next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-back-spasms#post-705509 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:45:07 +0000 meredithNYC 705509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them for a long time. LO is 10 months old now and I want to say they only went away about a month or two ago? In retrospect I really should have gone to the doctor! I still do have the occasional back pain, too, which I always assumed was from the epidural, but who knows. Most days I would just go on about things even though it hurt, but on bad days I would just take a Tylenol or Advil for pain relief. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-back-spasms#post-705495 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:41:07 +0000 Dandelion 705495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bump? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-back-spasms#post-704198 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 06:20:08 +0000 Dandelion 704198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Four weeks postpartum, and a new issue has cropped up. I'm getting back spasms. They start at my lower back and go right up my spine. I remember having them a lot towards the end of my pregnancy, but I thought they were contraction related. Now I realize that they are their own monster.</p> <p>Have any of you had something similar? Did it go away? What helped? </p>
