Needs some help
A couple years ago, before I got pregnant I was in a car accident and I hurt my back/waist and I went to therapy for it and it didn’t work. So fast forward to the night I was giving birth to my son I had an epidural and it somehow brought back the back/waist pain. I’m 4 month pp and I’m back at work Im on my feet for 10-11hr every day and the pain has been making it very difficult to do my job. I can’t walk far without it hurting. I can’t stand for a long time nor can I even sit for a long time and it’s really affecting my day to day life. Anybody know any types of cream or treatment that’ll work. Any advices is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

@Alyson thanks for the advice. I’m sorry you going thru what I’m going thru. Honestly I think I’ll go see the orthopedic doctor instead because I don’t want to become addicted to the pain meds so I’d rather just find a permanent solution instead of a temporary one
@Britney Cayo that’s exactly what I did. The pain management doctor was quick to try and prescribe pain meds and I was like nope. Let’s try the injection first. Unfortunately the first one didn’t work, so we’ll see

Epidural destroyed my back but that’s besides the point. I do have two herniated disks in my back right now causing sciatica. Trust me. I get the pain. It’s affecting my every day life. I got an epidural injection, and it didn’t work. I’m about to go for my second injection in a couple weeks. I recommend first going to ur primary care. They will probably give you steroids, and a muscle relaxer (atleast that’s what they do here). If that works amazing. If it doesn’t go to an orthopedic doctor/pain management.
