Pain and What I Can Take for It

I would say it's the IUD. I had the same pains for about 6 mths until I had them take it out. If they don't go away soon then I'd call your doctor and see what they say. Sometimes the stupid thing can move and then it really causes problems. Good Luck and I hope you feel better soon!!

Have you tried Chiropractic? We have an offer on Mamma Source if you need to get checked out. I could also help you find one closer to your home if you wish. Feel free to contact me if you want more info. ____@____.com.

As far as I know, Tylenol is the only thing that is "safe" but you may be able to take a higher dose. I would call your Dr./nurse and see if they can recommend a higher dose or an alternative...

E., call your doctor. The IUD can be the cause of your pain - both in your back and causing the headaches. Do not let the people in the office tell you that is not possible - it is

Have you ever read the book You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hayes? This will give you the education to get rid of your pains by knowing what is going on in your mind to cause the pain. It really works. I have not been to the doctor in 4 years and only then because of a car accident. When I get a pain I read the book and do the work and the pain goes away.

My husband is trying alternative medicine for High blood pressure with excellent results, regular medications never made him feel as good as he feels now with homopeathic treatments, Why don't you try that? You do not have nothing to loose and might be your answer.

I nursed and have an IUD -- and was perscribed 800mg motrin during this time... maybe you should talk to your doctor. They really did help. Also your IUD could be placed to where it hurts, talk with you GYN

Motrin (ibupofen) is okay to take while nursing. You shouldn't take Aleve or Naproxen Sodium though. The IUD isn't affected by meds. It's probably what is causing that period like cramping and Ibuprofen is likely to be the best thing you can take for it while nursing. Hope this helps. (I've breastfed all 3 of my kids and am a nurse :)

Is it possible that you are experiencing problems with your IUD...such as an infection? I would call the doctor immediately!

E.,

All I can think of is to drink LOTS of water. Sorry I can't be of more help to you.

Usually physical pain is your body's way of alerting you to a deeper problem. Sometimes it can be as simple as being dehydrated -- when you don't drink enough water your body is unable to eliminate waste which can cause achiness throughout the body; also since the body is around 97% water you can see that adequate water (not juice or soda etc) is needed for every bodily function. You might be lucky and just drinking a glass of water every hour and getting some rest (while the girls are napping) will make you feel much better.

Lack of sleep and lack of water are the two most common causes of aches and pains and overall "not feeling good," as well as not getting enough raw vegetables and salads: when the body doesn't eliminate all the waste, it begins to putrify and sends out toxins that get into the bloodstream and cause problems throughout the body.

By the way, keep in mind that anything at all that you ingest ends up in your breast milk and therefore into your baby, so I would avoid at all costs taking any meds.

These pains might also be a symptom of something more serious, such as problems with your IUD... it could also be a reaction to something you ate... but try the water-and-sleep treatment and see if that helps.

Hey E.,
Honestly, you need to call your doctor to see what is going on and maybe she can advise you on what you can do. When you are breastfeeding, you tend to have minor aches and pains, but if it is constant, you really need to get it checkec out for precaution. See ya

I agree with the other ladies. Go to the doctor and don't take no for an answer.
