Victoria Beckham in horrendous pain after slipping a disc

Victoria Beckham in horrendous pain after slipping a disc in her back.

The fashion designer and her husband David Beckham welcomed their first daughter, Harper Seven, last month. She had a painful back throughout the pregnancy which suddenly became worse while she was giving birth.

Victoria has now found she's slipped a disc and has a team of medical professionals helping her get back to optimum health.

"Rumours Victoria has been frantically exercising and trying to lose her baby weight could not be further from the truth," a source told British newspaper The Daily Mirror.

"The cruel reality is she was suffering with a bad back throughout her ¬pregnancy, and then something untoward happened during the C-section, badly aggravating it. She has had an X-ray which showed she has slipped a disc in her lower back. Victoria is in a lot of pain and even struggling to hold Harper.

"She is really down about the whole thing as she just wants to be able to play with her daughter like any new mom."

The star has been getting help from a chiropractor who costs £120 an hour. Soccer star David has also enlisted a team of physiotherapists to help her have a speedy recovery.

Victoria is thought to be taking painkillers and has been ordered to rest, which is why she hasn't been seen in public since her daughter's arrival.

"When she goes to breastfeed, David has to basically prop-up the baby. But Victoria is trying to remain upbeat because she really does feel so blessed with the birth of her beautiful daughter. She is determined not to let this injury overshadow the happiness surrounding Harper's arrival," the source added.

The couple also have three sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and six-year-old Cruz.
