There's a slight possibility you may have retained products of conception, in which case a d & c could be in order, which should help.  You should definately follow through with your doc appointment, because of course pain is never normal and you should have everything checked out.  It is likely something hormonal and/or easy to fix, and a lot of women experience something like this afterwards...try to hang in there.  Good luck.

There is no reason to be scared. It is not uncommon for people to hurt themselves, and go visit the doctor later when things don't get better. There is no problem with just getting it checked - it might be something that won't heal by itself. Try to convince her that it is worth her health just to make sure everything is OK.

FIRST OF ALL I'M SORRY THAT SHE IS GOING THROUGH THIS AND YOUR A GREAT GUY FOR GIVING HER YOUR SUPPORT. NOW I THINK THAT SHE SHOULD GET X-RAY'S NOT A CHIROPRACTOR. THE CHIROPRACTOR WILL JUST TRY TO CONTINUE TO GET MONEY WHILE THE X-RAY'S WILL SPOT THE PROBLEM AND TAKE CARE OF IT THEN IF SHE NEEDS THE CHIROPRACTOR THEN LET THE X-RAY DOCTOR TELL HER THAT. I FEEL THAT SHE SHOULD NOT TAKE IT UPON HERSELF TO MAKE A MEDICAL DECISION LIKE THAT SHE COULD BE MAKING IT WORSE THAN WHAT IT IS. I REALLY HOPES THAT SHE FEELS BETTER AND GET SOME X-RAYS BECAUSE THAT CAN LOOK AT THE BONES AND THE ORGANS.

It sounds like middleschmirtz. You can look it up on the web (yea, that is really the name). It is painful ovulation. Starts about two weeks or so after your last period began. It can cause mild to severe cramping feeling and lower back pain. (You would think we suffer enoung with the rest of the whole female cycle! Geesh!)\n\nLook in to it. That may be what is going on. \nAnother that I can think of is ovarian cysts. That can cause quite a bit of pain and discomfort too.\n\nEither way, if it continues, probably would be a good idea to see your OBGYN

I delivered 7 kids...(6 natural, 1 with an epidural)...THEN found out I had scoliosis! I also have fused disks in my lower back. I dont know how bad the curve of my spine is..altho I have had two different drs tell me I have the most crooked spine they have ever seen. You may just need to give your back time to heal since you just had a baby a few months ago. Also doing yoga stregthens the back muscles, which could help if you decide to have another baby. Since you dont have insurance maybe you can find a Health Department or Clinic that would be able to see you. GOODLUCK!

Sounds like nerve damage, possibly a pinched nerve, Don't fool around with waiting and seeing, my sister did permanent nerve damage this way partly due to a dread of the Dr. & partly due to a high pain tolerance.\nTake the same good care of this as you would for a young child in your care.\nBest wishes on this.Also, if it's the left arm, this is a classic sign of heart attack, often with no other symptoms. You seriously need the support of a Dr., please don't wait until you regret it.

Take her to a Children's Hospital ASAP.\nThis happened to my little cousin.  He hadn't had a bowel movement in about a week, and they took him to a hospital and the DR said it would pass.  So a few hours later they took him to Children's and they said that if they would have waited any longer he would have literally burst.  They are now in the process of suing the first hospital.  I hope this doesn't scare you, but prompts you to go to a good hospital and quickly.

This is not unusual especially if you are nursing.  The other possibility is another pregnancy though.  Talk to your OB about it.

It might be.  Please go with her to the doctor to have it checked.  My prayers are with you.

She just had a baby.  That can do wonder's for your body and make it a total disaster.

Well, there is a couple of things we need to know:\n\nDoes she have a fever? No fever means it is unlikely to be an infection or appendices.\n\nDoes it hurt to the touch? If it does you should consider taking her to the ER if she is doubling over in pain when you push on her stomach.\n\nI am making the assumption here that there is no physical appearence of injury. If there is you will need to determine the severity in order to determine taking her to the doctor.\n\nWhen is the last time she had a bowel movement? It could be gas or constipation, and she just may not understand what is going on. Give her some juice and rock her to see if this gets thinks moving. Assuming there was no fever and no pain to the touch, though there can be pain to the touch with gas as well.\n\nIt could also be as simple as her being tired. Some children will have tummy trouble when they are over tired.\n\nAlso, be sure to think through what she has eaten today. Was there anything out of the norm? And can you be absolutely certain that she did not eat anything toxic? Watch for sign of vomiting or diarreha that could indicate something more severe.\n\nIf symptoms persist or worsen you should certain seek medical assistance. You know your child better than anyone, if she is crying for prolonged periods or rolling around in pain it would be a good idea to seek immediate assistance tonight. If she is able to lay down and fall asleep comfortably without any of the above issues, then you are probably okay to way until tomorrow and reavaluate the situation, but we not doctors. We can only give you advice based on experience. Ultimately you have to follow your gut and best judgment. \n\nHope everything works out!

No don't wait!!!! I have dealt with that my whole life, mine is migrains. Your daughter could be suffering migrains or it could be a tumor or blood clot, there are so  many different things it could be. Get her to a doctor as soon as you can, if it turns out ot be migrains then they can tell you about different triggers that set them off. Please don't wait because time could be of the essence!!!!!!!!!!

I would ask the doctor if running a MRI on her to see if she has any back disc problems, then if she does physical therapy is good, if that dosent help with the nerve being pinched she may need to see a nurosurgean for more options, I had the same problem, waited to long and now have a fused lower spine,

It can happen at any time during the pregnancy, although it is more likely to happen during the first trimester. I have had two miscarriages and one healthy baby (my miracle baby) the first miscarriage I was about 5 months along and the second I was only a few weeks along. I really hope that nothing like that happens, if you have any bleeding whatsoever call your doctor immediately. There is no greater pain than the loss of a child.
