Sciatic pain at 6 days post c-section?

Question

Need advice! I had an induction at 40+6  with epidural and was left in a frog leg position overnight and for hours the next day. My delivery ended up with a c-section due to no progress  (almost 24 hours of epidural). I now have tingling and numbness in my right leg when I sit. I attempted some at home exercises and couldn't do them. I think I need a chiropractor but I'm worried that it's  to early for that and I might hurt something else... Any advice?

Answer

I was induced as well and was forced to sit in the frog leg position for 2 hours. Though I had an epidural, I could feel my right leg and foot cramping. My leg was numb for 3 days after birth, then my foot was numb for 3 days after that, then my toes. My LO is 4 weeks old today and the numbness finally left my toes. I now have severe lower back and hip pain. To the point where it's difficult to walk at the end of the day. My back has already went out once. I did see a chiropractor when I was 2 weeks PP and it helped for a day or so. I plan on going back this week if I can get a break.
