Upper back pain post delivery
I have severe pain in my upper back, which seems to be there near the 2 bones each below the shoulders.
It is there since my delivery in May 2020.
Lower back pain is very minimal.
Initially it seemed like that pain is due to breastfeeding, since whenever i used to feed my baby, i had severe pain in 2 points in my upper back just behind the breasts, from whichever side i used to feed my baby the pain usually happened more on that side.
I have a history of cervical migraine.
My gynaec said that make sure you get proper massage, then may be i will get relief in my back. But, due to Covid situations, I haven't got a proper massage post delivery.
It's been almost 4 months that I have stopped feeding my baby, but the pain still persists.
Sometimes the pain is not much, but it seems like whenever my periods occur, the pain increases in my upper back and becomes unbearable sometimes.
I also have to carry my baby, sometimes due to which the pain increases.
