Horrible back pain?

js0407

I am 26 weeks and already having horrible back pain and spasms. Has anyone had this issue and how do you control the pain? I have tried Tylenol with and heat and that hasn't seemed to helped. It's pretty said when you have to crawl to the bathroom because the pain is horrible. I have called the dr and I see her on Wednesday day for a follow up.

Is a pregnancy massage an option for you?  There is at least one massage place in DFW that specializes exclusively in pregnant women.  Chiro or acupuncture might be an option too (assuming they are pregnancy certified)

Thank you I'll look into that, I know that when I have massages I get sick , but I'll take that over the pain any day.

I was having horrible migraines at around 20 weeks give or take and started going to a chiropractor. After a few adjustments they all but disappeared. Turns out I was all sorts of out of alignment. I went to 180 Wellness in Southlake and they have special tables and a gal there that works with pregnant women. I was able to use health savings there as well which was a huge bonus.

I have nothing to compare it to, as I had never done chiro before, but it made a HUGE difference for me. My doctor was totally OK with it as long as I didn't get xrays (which they don't do on pregnant women anyway).

Good luck, hope you find something that works for you!
