Back Pain Questions

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing severe lower back pain. Since you mentioned that you had a delivery a year ago and the pain started 2-3 months ago, there could be several potential causes for your symptoms. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options. They will be able to evaluate your specific situation and provide personalized advice. Here are a few possible causes of lower back pain after delivery: 1. Postpartum back pain: hormonal changes during pregnancy can affect the ligaments and joints in the pelvic area, potentially leading to lower back pain after delivery. This type of pain may improve over time as your body recovers, but it's still important to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any other underlying causes. 2. Muscular strain: the physical demands of pregnancy and childbirth can put strain on the muscles in the lower back. Lifting and carrying a baby, as well as poor posture during breastfeeding or caring for your child, can contribute to muscle imbalances and pain. 3. Pelvic floor dysfunction: pregnancy and childbirth can weaken the muscles of the pelvic floor, which can lead to lower back pain. Pelvic floor physical therapy may help in strengthening these muscles and reducing pain. 4. Herniated disc: in some cases, the strain and pressure during pregnancy and childbirth can cause a herniated disc in the lumbar spine, leading to lower back pain. This condition may require medical intervention and imaging tests to diagnose accurately. 5. Sciatica: pressure on the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the buttocks and down the legs, can cause pain radiating down the leg. This condition, known as sciatica, can be caused by various factors, including pregnancy-related changes and postural issues. Again, I strongly recommend consulting with a healthcare professional, such as an obstetrician, gynecologist, orthopedic specialist and a physical therapist, who can evaluate your symptoms, conduct a physical examination, and order any necessary tests to determine the underlying cause of your lower back pain. They will be able to provide you with appropriate treatment options based on their findings. I hope this helps! let me know if you have any other questions.

Upper back pain pushups this one may seem basic, but there’s no denying that pushups are one of the best ways to strengthen the pectoral muscles. These can be done on the knees or toes. If you’re not ready for full pushups, start with your hands resting on a solid surface higher than your feet — like a very sturdy coffee table or the edge of a couch, cushions removed, that’s pressed up against a wall — and start on the toes. Having your hands higher than your feet and your body at an angle can be a good way to start a pushup regimen. As you get stronger, you can begin to lower the angle of your body. This will help you transition to full pushups more easily than going from knees to toes. A full plank engages the muscles differently, even at an angle. When doing pushups, aim for 2 sets of 10 reps per day. 1.start in plank position with your hands under your shoulders and your core engaged. 2.as you lower, inhale. 3.as you engage your muscles to push yourself up, exhale. Keep your elbows hugging in close to your body. Keep your focus on slowly breathing as you do these, and on engaging the pectorals while keeping the core tight. Don’t just crank these out to get them done — this can compromise your form and do more harm than good. If the movement is really tough, break the sets into three or five to start, or find a higher point to begin after a week of exercise. If necessary, you can even stand and do pushups pushing against a wall. Chest flyfor this exercise, you’ll need a bench or exercise ball as well as some dumbbells.
