Back pain

Okay, so in my attempt to get ready for these babies and clean out their room for painting etc.  I must have done too much this weekend because last night and today my back is killing me.  I am having horible lower back pain and didn't sleep well at night.  Each time I had to get up to use the bathroom (which is a LOT) I felt like my legs weren't gonna move.  I guess I overdid it.  I have a swollen disk in my lower back and I also have siaticca (spelling) pain as well even before I was pregnant.  The Dr said this will get worse since I am pregnant, oh joy!!  What do you guys do for back pain?  TIA

Re: Back pain

  • Warm shower, at the strongest shower head setting, aimed directly at the part of my back that hurts. ?That helps a lot. ?Other than that I just try to do what makes it feel better- some days that is walking around, other days sitting up with a pillow behind for support, other days lying down on one side with various pillow arrangements. ?If it really won't quit I'll take one tylenol before bed so I can sleep. ?
  • Really resting as much as possible is going to be your best friend.  Your body cannot do things the way it used to.  It took me a long time to realize this and it always ended up in pain so I began to listen to my body and relax a little.

    Hope you feel better soon, try to rest.
