I went to the grocery store & had to leave. I had pain so bad I was limping. I do remember some minor discomfort with DS & my hips were achy. But I didn't have anything like this. I suppose there's no real treatment, right? Just grin & bear it?
I had it very bad too. In fact, when I told my OB about it, she laughed and said she had never heard of "lightening crotch" before but would start using the term all the time.
I had it so bad with my second I could barely move one day. I am already getting it occasionally this time around too. Fun stuff. And yes, no cure, just sit down or laydown. There are positions where it is less painful.
