Anyone experience severe upper back pain after birth? I expected it in my lower back but it's right under my shoulder…

I did. I had it through my whole back for about a week after birth. But I had a c section and an epidural.

@santistevanmommie, I had an epidural but this pain is unbearable. I had to take pain pills.

Mine was pretty bad too. It would run from the bottom part of my back all the way to the top of my neck and would make me feel paralyzed for a couple minutes. It would hurt so bad, luckily it doesn't hurt as much anymore or as often

I did because of the epidural dr told me it was normal it hurt so bad and 4 days later still hurts my dr prescribed me oxycodone because it wouldn't go away or get better with regular pain pills

@santistevanmommie, I'm glad it got better for you!

@snicole12, it's been 2 weeks for me. Hopefully it'll pass. that's what my dr prescribed me but I hate taking anything while breastfeeding

Try taking some Motrin. I stopped taking my percocets because of breastfeeding and the Motrin helped dull the pain enough that I could ignore it

@santistevanmommie, thank you!
