Sorry I am full of posts today! Did anyone use a support belt at all? Did you think it made a difference? Any recs? I have been having bad hip pain and my ob said to try one and I just wanted to see what others experiance with them had been. Thanks!
I had bad SI joint pains. It hurt to walk. I started going to PT and they recommended at maternity support belt so I ordered one from them. It didn't help so I returned it cause it was freaking expensive.
I got one from one of the Motherhood stores. It did give me some relief but definitely didn't fix things. I'd wear it for a few hours to lighten the load and then take it off again since I didn't like sitting in it.
I wear an SI belt for SI joint pain and wish I would have tried it when I had pubic symphysis dysfunction with DD. I really think it would have made a world of difference for me. You could also try tape google Rock Tape for pregnancy. Way cool. I'm totally trying this next time around. I say trying something would be worth it if it reduces the pain.
