Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Lower back, hip and pelvic pain is common after childbirth. In most cases it's occurs due to deficiency of vit D3 known as osteomalacia.
You need xray of lower spine and pelvis to diagnose your condition.
You need proper vit D3 supplements. You can take this after prescription of your doctor.
Avoid forward bending and heavy weight lifting.
Hope this will helps you
Wishing you good health...

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The persistent pain in the lower back could be due to a wrong body posture, low vitamin D 3 levels or a lumbar disc herniation. You need to get yourself properly investigated under the guidance of an orthopedician for proper treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
