If you have a female sibling or close friend who has given birth to a baby, you would have heard a lot about back pain because back pain after delivery is normal. Back pain can range from muscle aching, burning, or burning sensation.

How it affects our life

It makes our day-to-day life harder when walking, sitting, and other bending movements. We are relieved when we lay our bodies in bed in a straight line. We cannot be our true selves when we are in pain.
