Why is it when i lay flat on my back i have back pain in the lower back, hip area? i'm 21 and had 2 kids c sections.

Arthralgia: Most common cause of this is compression of the facet joints in the back of the spine due the supine (flat on the back) position you describe. Support your knees with a pillow or roll over onto your side and you' probably feel better.
