Round ligament pain - anyone's severe??

in 2nd Trimester
I have been having really bad, sharp pains in my lower left abdomen for about a week & a half now. I saw my doctor and he seems to think it could be my round ligament.  From what I got from him, and what I've read online, it is common... but my pain is very severe... to the point that it hurts to walk, get up/down, sleep, cough, sneeze, etc.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  Is anyone's so bad that it's limiting physical activity???  This BLOWS.

    I've had some severe, but only related to a sneeze.

    Does it feel like you are getting your period? I just started this today and was trying to look up info on RLP.

    Mine is pretty bad.  It hurts (usually not too bad, but sometimes to the point of making me double over for a few minutes) whenever I stand up, roll over, bend over, laugh, sneeze, cough...  A couple of days ago, I stood up too fast, got a nasty burst of pain, which caused me to sit back down, which caused more pain, so I laughed because it was ridiculous, which made it hurt worse, and the more it hurt the more I laughed and the worse it got until I was lying on the ground laughing and crying and DH was wondering what the hell was wrong.

    I have! It spreads to my back too. It is the worst pain I have ever felt in my entire life, and up until today I thought maybe it was a kidney stone or a kidney infection. I have been getting tests done for 2 weeks now, and I just found out a few hours ago  that "all of my tests came back fine." I am SO frustrated. My husband and I were involved in a very serious car accident about 3 weeks ago, and I was in the hospital for 24 hours, but they said everything was okay and I was released. These pains I have been having have been happening since then. & I feel like my doctor & the nurse in the office aren't taking me seriously because they probably deal with paranoid hypocondriac pregnant women all the time, but this pain is EXCRUCIATING. I honestly have barely left the house in weeks, because it hurts to stand, walk, breathe, everything. I am so frustrated. :(

    mine has been pretty bad but seems to have gone away over the last couple of weeks.  Hope it gets better for you soon.

    Yup, mine has been really bad too. It helps to do stretches every day- I do yoga. Sometimes it is almost unbearable: I can't stand up completely when it is really bad, it wakes me up in the middle of the night, it makes me nauseous sometimes too. I do yoga, use a rice bag (those cushions filled with rice that you put in the microwave), and take Tylenol. It sucks but at the same time makes me look forward to labor so I can get all these misc. pains over with!

    Mine is really bad, but I was just told to take Tylenol and relax. Having a 15 month old doesn't make it any easier though! My OB said mine is because my ligaments are already loose from having 2 pregnancies so close together. I can't wait until DD gets here so my pain will go away!

    I was in the hospital for severe pain on my lower right side and it felt like I was there forever and a couple of doses of completely ineffective morphine before they just told me it was round ligament pain. I feel much better now that I do prenatal yoga and use heating pads when the pain gets too bad. Just stretch slowly and work your legs a bit before you sit up. That's helped me tremendously.

    I had this on my right side for a while and my doctor told me it was most likely an ovarian cyst. The pain felt like an exaggerated version of the pain I usually got during ovulation. Apparently, these cysts are semi-common in pregnancy and will normally dissolve on their own, and since everything looks fine with the baby, that is what they concluded.

    yep! All the time. I was so scared the first time I had them but now I'm getting used to them. Doc said to take tylenol and use a heating pad on low. I also do yoga and deep water, water aerobics to help stretch out a bit. It helps.
