I had a baby 3 months ago and I just cracked my rib doing plough pose in yoga:( what can I do?


Question:
I am breast feeding so I can't take the vicadin that my doc prescribed and I'm allergic to Advil! what can I do to ease the pain:(:( I want to get back to holding and carrying my little baby! it hurts to breath, cough, laugh, it's even hard for me to breast feed!! ANY suggestions would be helpful. Ice it? will heat help? THANKS

Answers:
Go to a doctor and get an X-ray done before applying ice or heat.
check with the dr, but I had to take vicadin for my c-section...my daughter had no problems, for the 2nd they gave me darvocet...good-luck! (both were breastfed)
My chiropractor says 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off for ice or heat...you can do more damage by using it any longer.

Call your gyno/peidiatrics in regards to meds you can take while breastfeeding. The other thing is, you can pump the milk and freeze it...then take the meds...they will have to advise you on when to pump again (how long the meds take to leave your system)...but maybe to get a little relief.

My back went out when I had my son 3 years ago...and I still had to lift and care for him, too. I know what you are going through. I did not breast feed, though, so I could take stuff, but my stomach can't take the meds. I suffered a while.
