[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like everyone is focusing exclusively on the fact that OP is postpartum and ignoring that she has a serious physical injury on top of that. I’ve been postpartum (with multiples!) and had the injury she has (not when I was postpartum), and the injury alone is debilitating. This isn’t a mental health issue. OP would be incapacitated by this injury even if she’d never had a baby. [/quote]

I don’t think people understand how painful a herniated disc is. Taking care of my baby is all I can physically handle. I’m also in more pain because I have refused to take hardcore pain meds for more than a week. I’m relying on OTC and ice/heat therapy. I go to physical therapy once I’m cleared at 6 weeks.

I ordered more clothes and a cheap shower chair to make sure I shower daily. I showered. My husband washed laundry yesterday. He said he will try to be more in top of it.[/quote]
I know how excruciatingly painful and incapacitating a herniated disc with severe sciatica is. I also know that, as a mother, if I only had the bandwidth to take care of one person, it would be my newborn and not myself. You’ve already taken some positive steps and hopefully your dh is beginning to understand just how much help you need. You will heal and PT will get you back to being pain free, with time. You’re going through something that is miserable and very challenging, but it will pass and you will one day shower with ease and even chase your baby around. Big hugs.[/quote]
