3rd Trimester

MY BACK!!! (whining like a baby)

It hurts so bad!!!  I can't get comfortable to rest it and it's so inflamed.  Tylenol is like taking sugar pills and I need something stronger!!!  The water in my tub doesn't get hot enough for it to ease the pain.  Cry! Cry! Tear! Tear!  Crying

Re: MY BACK!!! (whining like a baby)

  • make DH massage it, that works wonders on mine.  Now if only he'd do it for more than a minute or two it'd be great!
  • I know exactly how you feel. My DH thinks I'm being a baby but I'm a pretty tough person. My back hurts all day, everyday and having a two year old who is reverting back to babyhood is not helping. Today I was having back spasms so bad I wanted to cry, thankfully my daughter was taking a nap so I stood in the hot shower until it eased up. I don't even bother with the Tylenol, it's not strong enough. Hang in there, it's all worth it in the end.

  • I know how you feel!  Tylenol does nothing for me either, which sucks.  Heating pads rarely give any smidge of relief too.  It helps a little when DH rubs my back but he doesn't do it for very long.  I end up driving him nuts because I rock back & forth since that helps distract my mind from the pain a little.  Even if I give in & take Benadryl at night to help me sleep, it only works for a few hours before I'm awake, ugh!  So not looking forward to seeing how bad it'll get in a few more weeks.

  • Oh I'm there with you!  And to the poster who said they rock back and forth - I do that too!  Oh and add that my stomach muscles are separating in a very painful way.  Thanks to the doctor yesterday for just nodding and saying it's perfectly normal.  Separating muscles shouldn't be normal :-p

  • I totally feel for you.... DH thinks I exaggerate but damn.. the back pain sometimes is just killer. Tylenol is next to worthless :(
