Hi im dr.hema physiotherapist.
Yes its common to experience pain after c section until breast feeding or 2 years due to various reasons like hormonal changes, ligament laxity, calcium deficiency, protien or vitamin insufficiency or thyroid imbalance.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained by application of diclofinac muscle relaxant gel, with hot water fomentation twice or thrice daily for 2 weeks.
You can include supplements of Calcium & Vitamin D in your diet which will help in strengthening of bones.
Physiotherapy exercise will also be helpful.
1]Start exercises to strengthen your abdominal and back muscles.
2]Maintain proper posture and body mechanics while lifting things,feeding with back support.
bend at knee.
Use your legs more than back.
3]Get a relaxing massage...regular meditation or yoga.
4]If its still uncontrollable then you can consider taking NSAIDS and physiotherapy modalities consulting your physician and direct evaluation of your condition.
Reduce weight if necessary.
In most cases strengthening exercise, change in life style with diet relives pain.
Hope it helps.
In doubt do reply.
