Hello lane2005
I am realiy sorry to hear this and fully empathize what you are going through, rearing two children with lower back pain and cramps.
Lower back pains and cramps in legs is very common after child birth. The intensity varies from person to person.This could be due to nerve compression, fatigue, pelvic inflammatory diseases, low salt--as in sodium and potsaaium etc.
"Pregnancy and childbirth have a nasty tendency to cause a number of nagging minor health problems (back pain, hemorrhoids, constipation, varicose veins, to name a few) or to reveal dormant ones. Close to half of new mothers have at least one health concern in the weeks following childbirth. The most important thing to remember is that the postpartum period is a time of transition during which we must take care of ourselves."; http://womenshealth.about.com/cs/pregnancy/a/postpregbook.htm
Since you are still suffering from these I would suggest you see an orthopedic specialist. A CT Scan or a MRI of the spine of the affected region will reveal the problem.
Also simultaneously you could also consult a good physiotherapist. Most of the times these problems are relieved by physiotherapy and multivitamins.
I am quite optimistic that its nothing very serious. Please do as advised.

I am concerned that you are experiencing such disabling discomfort. Your problem is unlikely to be something that a urologiical. I have requested that your question be moved to the family practice or gynecology forum.
Good luck and I hope that you feel better soon.
