Low back pain postpartum
I have started developing low back pain from three months postpartum and now am 18 months postpartum still there. I have gained weight. Also I have l1-l2 mild disc degeneration. Can the pain be fully reversed and how?? Is the pain because of disc degeneration or birth or is it because of the epidural I had during labour?? Pls help. I can't forward bend at all it's very painful, mainly on my left side and pain slightly radiates to upper part of thigh, but it's very lil pain and it's just feel like weakness. Right side back is lil to no pain and not radiates to leg. I don't have any other back issues or health issues. Please help. I want to lift my baby happily and do daily tasks with no pain.
