Worst backpain...

aymeebrace

Its my 3rd baby and i went to the doctor today, normal checkup. Im 16 weeks today and I HAVE THE WORST BACKPAIN! Any suggestions to relieve the pain? I never had this with the first 2 pregnancies. Everything is perfect thus far and its not labor or anything silly...i just think the sciatic nerve is being pinched or something. I cant take hot baths, etc HELP ME!

?I can barely walk. Every step is shooting pain....anyone else experiencing this??

I had this around 13-14 weeks. The pain was so bad when I tried to walk and sometimes I would just stand there and cry. My dr. said I could go to a chiro, but I was just too busy. I think it was a pinched nerve. I spent a lot of time stretching my legs and just taking it easy, and eventually it got better. I'm sorry you are dealing with this....it really does suck. Good luck!

Have you tried massage in the past?  It works great for me, I have back issues pre-preg too. I use it with chiropractics.

Can you go see a chiropractor?  My back pain is already so incredibly bad-much more so than it was when pregnant with DS.  I think it's from carrying a toddler up and down the stairs and putting him in the car seat, not to mention all the rough housing and wrestling.  Have a chiropractor crack you back in place-you'll feel so much better!

Thanks guys ill definitely try that. I have a 7 and 5 yr old and spent the entire day cleaning our house...how am i going to do this the whole way through if im this bad now? Yikes. On top of that it prob doesnt help that we live in a 4 story condo so i have to walk up and downstairs ALL DAY LONG!

I may try the chiropractor thing. Does anyone know if thats usually covered under insurance??

I have had horrible sciattica pain for the past month or so. It feels like my lower back will break with every step. The only thing my Dr told me I  can do is take tylenol for the pain, and put on a hot pad occasionally. If you are on your feet to much it will cause this (or my problem the opposite, I sit all day at work and don't get up much to move around). Its horrible...and I came to find out all the women in my family get it when they are pregnant and it doesn't go away until delivery for them. UGH. Going to be a long few months! Hang in there!
