Post child birth question regarding pains that i have?

So i had my wonderful baby boy, Corbin 1 week ago and been having body problems i'm not sure are normal. First i have painful headaches daily and its not due to the lose of sleep because Corbin sleeps most of the night, plus me and my boyfriend switch who gets up every other night. I'm having sharp rib pains only on my left side and i keep looking there, expecting to see a big black bruise. i had this pain the the last 4 months of my pregnancy and thought it would leave my body with the baby...still hurts like hell. i have been having a slight fever and ear aches. Also, i have a lump the width of my right leg above my right knee that hurts and makes it hard to walk. My epidural didn't work until after labor and then it only work on my right leg, couldn't use it for 2 days. I have pain or burning when urinating and the urge to pee frequently but not a lot comes out; my urine is dark and bloody and the burning continues through the day. My blood lose hasn't decreased either. The soreness and the back pain numb joints i figured normal. Any ideas for any of these and should i call my obgyn or just a normal doctors.

    Sounds like an infection in your body call your Dr. You shouldn't have fevers and your urine shouldn't be dark that is a sign of dehydration and possibly infection including bladder or even kidney infection. You need to see a Dr. You should call your OBGYN and see what they say.

    Yep def. See a doc or go to the er... i had a fever about 5 days after delivering and it turned out to be a kidney infection i didnt catch it beforehand becaause your bodys so messed up after having a baby you really cant tell whats normal and whats not but with the peeing issue you def. Have a uti and possibly something else wrong ... girl didnt you read the discharge paper it says to call immediatly if you have a fever ...good luck girlie and hopefully your er is better then outs the er doctor actilually told me "we dont know why you have a fever we re thinking meningitis" urgh what a dodo! I tell him my back hurts and i have a fever and just had a baby blood pressure and heart rate were sky high and he suggests meningitis "sigh" what a night that was sorry for the rant but seriously dont wait call the docs office if its too late use the emergency line and then go to the er... SOMETHING isnt right good luck again girlie

    I would go see a Dr ASAP & if one isn't available I'd go to the ER. Fever after delivery is no joke & you need to be seen ASAP. I am *usually* the one on fever questions telling people the Er is not a place to rush to - but in those first few weeks postpartum you are very vulnerable. I'd go get this checked out ASAP.
