Hello Lactnetters
I received permission from mom to post this to you and I hope you can
give us some information.
32 yr-old primip. 4 month old exclusively BF baby. Mom has had back pain
since delivery (no epidural).  Many doctors and many wrong diagnosis and
now finally given a diagnosis of osteomalacia.  Has 2 compression
fractures in her spine found after an MRI and a bone scan.  Now will be
on 2-3 weeks of oxycodone for pain control and wondering about nursing.
Her doc says no but Peds says OK.  any thoughts??  Also if anyone has
any experience with this, please e-mail me privately.  We're having a
hard time finding any information.  She's concerned that she's making it
worse by Breastfeeding and would like to continue but doesn't want to
end up with pain like this for the rest of her life.

Thanks in Advance -
Stephanie Ryan RN IBCLC
