Pelvic Girdle Pain Can Persist Up to a Decade After Giving Birth!

A ten-year follow up with 370 women who experienced pelvic girdle pain (PGP) during pregnancy revealed that 10% still suffered from the condition. Further analysis revealed that women with a history of low back pain prior to pregnancy had a 2.28 times greater risk for developing chronic PGP over the following decade when compared with women without a history of back pain. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, July 2016
