Thank you for reaching out. Chronic low back pain can be quite disabling. After a c section surgery, the muscles of the core and pelvis tend to become weak and one needs to strengthen the core. I would recommend few exercises as per the link below. However if you still require to discuss the problem in detail, I would recommend a personal consultation.

Hi lybrate-user backaches after pregnancy are a known entity and it is primarily because of increased load on the back during pregnancy and straining of back muscles. Improper rehabilitation of back post delivery is the man cause of long standing back pains as in your case. Now, if your backache is due to muscle weakness or because of a disc herniation cannot be judged based on your provided information. Additional information is needed: 1. Does your pain go in the leg also and if yes on which side? 2. Do you feel tingling in the leg/legs? 3. Is your pain present all the time or does it appear on specific movements? 4. Is sitting more painful than walking? 5. What is your weight and height? 6. Are you taking any medicines? 7. Do you have additional symptoms like hair fall, acidity, chakkar, cramps, forgetfulness? In the mean time I can only say that local pain relief gels are temporary and would neither identify nor solve your problem. They don't give good results because they suppress pain, not cure it. Take care
