How To Strengthen Lower Back After Delivery Of Twins?
I have been having lower back pain almost tailbone pain since my 3yr old twins where born.. I can't lay on my stomach or floor. Or sit on hard chairs or floor. Or if I wear flats. When my back has a fit it last weeks without muscle relaxers. Sometime stops me in my tracks with lighting pain running up into my shoulder. Laying hurts and when I sit my lower back hurts if I take a deep breath or cough sneeze.. It feels like my tailbone and lower spine aches like I have the flu and heat makes it worse. How can I strengthen it without hurting? Is it just muscle related?

During pregnancy muscles remain in disadvantage and that causes them to weak. Now my advice to you is to start back muscle strengthening exercises. This will need some patience but you will improve, also shedding some extra killos will help you. I hope you have taken iron and calcium during pregnancy as some time low haemoglobin can also contribute to this muscle fatigue.
