need help has anyone experience sciatica after giving birth?

Question

Hi mummies! 🤍Ever since I gave birth, Ive been having this tingling, pins and needles kind of pain in my lower back that sometimes seems to run down from my back. Im wondering if it could be sciatica, but Im really not sure.I kept thinking it would go away on its own while taking care of my little one, but its still there and Im starting to get worried. Has anyone experienced this after giving birth? If you did, could you recommend a good doctor? Id really appreciate any recommendations. Thank you so much! 🥹  #help_mom

Hi! Im so sorry youre going through this, especially with a newborn to look after. 🤍 I can only imagine how exhausting that must be.My sister had sciatica a while back (not during pregnancy), and she saw Dr Colum Nolan, her spine doctor in Singapore. He really helped her, and shes doing much better now.It might be worth getting it checked by a spine specialist, just to make sure its nothing more serious. They can advise you on whats safe and suitable, whether its medication, physiotherapy, or another treatment. I really hope you get some relief soon so you can enjoy this precious time with your little one. Take care! 💕
