Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 35 year old female. I am a mother of a 2 year old boy. After cesarean delivery, I had back and joint pain problem. I thought that once I stop my breastfeeding my problem will resolve. But, it persists still. Why?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You need calcium supplements daily. You also need to be exposed to direct sunlight for quarter an hour three times a week before noon. Also, you need Vitamin B 12 supplements. It will take around three months of supplements to compensate the deficiencies caused by breastfeeding. For further information consult a doctor back.

Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
It has been one and a half months. But even after taking supplements, I have severe lower back pain. What should I do?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Since supplements did not improve your condition, I recommend getting a CT (computed tomography) scan on your vertebra and a blood test for rheumatoid factor and ASOT titer (antistreptolysin).
