My back hurrrrrts.....

Just on the left side sorta in the middle. Been hurting for over a week now. The heating pad is the only thing that helps, but I'm out of town and dont have one and it's not worth it to buy one since I'm going home tomorrow. I'm so unhappy. (

Maybe try a nice hot bath for now since the heating pad isnt an option? At least it might stifle the pain enough for you to be semi-comfortable...

I'm sorry you're miserable! Back pain sucks!!

I am right there with you except mine is on the right side. It is so nagging and painful and I tear up a lot from it. It feels best when I stand up and walk so I've been doing a lot of standing lately. Glad I don't sit at a desk at work.

If you find a better pain reliever than the heating pad let us know. I'd love to get rid of this pain.

I'm having the same issue - left/middle side. Tylenol is the only thing that relieves it.This pregnancy back pain is NO joke. Things were going just fine and dandy for me, then on the first day of week 17, it felt like someone was karate chopping me in the back. I don't know if you're OK with taking Tylenol - but it does wonders. A warm bath helps too. I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks, Ladies. My dad's wife ended up buying a heating pad for me to have at their house.

I'm hesitant to take Tylenol because it doesn't normally work for me (I'm a Motrin user), so I'd feel like I would be taking it for nothing, you know? Lol...I stayed at my sister's last night and she doesn't have a heating pad either. I'm on my way to Walgreens to buy one so I can use it at work!

What about those heated sticky pads that work for 8+ hours?  They work wonderfully.

I've been having a lot of back pain too.  My snoogle helps at night. I wake up feeling so much better.
