A member asked:
Will exercising help with back pain after taking epidural labor shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back pain: After pregnancy is not caused by an epidural needle but by loose ligaments in your spine caused by Progesterone and overall core muscle weakness. Exercise will help with back pain caused by weak core muscles.
