I did not get the memo about crippling back pain

Is anyone else experiences horrible back pain?  Started slowly a few weeks ago and is now constant.  I'm sure its from carrying my big fella up and down stairs and picking him up from the crib, floor etc.   Any recomendations of how to ease this pain?   Already have stopped carrying the car seat in and out of the car but there is not much I can avoid doing.   Somehow I missed that this comes with new babies.

    I was warned but didn't expect it to be this bad.  I actually just got a deep tissue massage and now it feels WORSE!  sigh...

    I think the key is stretching as much as possible, building back muscles (using proper form), and trying to switch which side you hold LO on so the muscles don't build unevenly.

    Feel better!

    Greengirl....did you have to go to a dr before going to PT? If not, how did you find it and does your insurance cover it? I've always had back problems, but recently they are so bad I can't pick up LO sometimes. I've got to get some help and don't know where to start. I used to see a chiropractor but it didn't help much. Never even thought about PT!

    oh my gosh YES. mid-lower back pain is terrible. i took an aleve yesterday and it helped. that plus 30 mins on a heating pad took the edge off the pain, but it still aches.

    once i am back in the city for work, i plan to do acupuncture - it's amazing!
