What Causes Immobility After Delivery?

Hello,am emailing you from nigeria in west Africa.my wife gave birth 7 days ago to a baby boy but she has been experiencing mobility problem since the delivery due to the fact that the baby s head rested on her right leg during delivery.She struggles to sit and walk by herself.Often times she experiences trembling in her legs.The problem and pains emanates from the waist downwards.I bought her Neurobion Coated Tablets on Thursday and she takes 1 tab three times daily.She feels temporarily relieved within the minutes she takes the drug and thereafter the pain resurfaces.I am scared for my wife s health.Please help with any suggestion or advice.Please.She and my kids are the most important people i have in this world.By the way she is 30 years old and the new baby she had is our fourth son.

Hi,

I think she should get examined by a doctor to see what is the real problem.

Maybe the nerves are compressed from the edematous tissue as a trauma result.

Meanwhile, she could have rest, take Acetaminophen for pain and use ice compresses.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
