Back Pain

Caseyu522 · December 2011

Is anyone else having horrible back pain or is it just me? I know I had it really bad from day one with my DS, but I was hoping I would get lucky this time and not have it.

My mom keeps telling me it could be from my odd shaped spine so I was just wondering if anyone else is "blessed" enough to be having back pain so early?

I've been having back pain off and on since conception! I talked to my doctor about it this week, and she gave me a brochure of safe back stretches that may help. If that doesn't work, she's going to give a me a prescription for massage

Yes! My back is killing me. I asked about it during my doctor visit yesterday and he said that it (along with every other thing that I asked about) was totally normal and mostly due to the fact that the uterus grows back toward your spine as well as up and forward. My low back and the tops of my hips, right above the butt, are just dying. I've been laying on a heating pad every night this week.

Oh and I also have a "weird" back. My spine curves way in, swayback style. Yoga has definitely helped me cope with that, though. I've become much more flexible and strengthening my core muscles helps a lot. However, I'm definitely going to invest in a good lumbar pillow for work.
