Hello all
So I have always had underlying back pain for which I used to do physical therapy and use ibuprofen. But in the last week it has gotten SO bad and is now shooting down my right hip. Im not even taking Tylenol because it does nothing! I can't do my pt exercises since they require my lying on my stomach and I'm 23 weeks. Anyone else have awful back pain? I came home from work this evening and just cried for awhile....maybe a little better after that! Any advice PLEASE?!?!? TIA.....
Re: Awful lower back pain?
bend over and touch your toes (or however close you can get) lock your knees all the way backward. let your arms and head dangle-- come up VERY slowly... one vertebrae at a time.
I have been having really bad lower back pain. Mostly on my left side, on my lower back. Sometimes it's so bad I can't walk properly, if at all. Sometimes my FI has to help me get to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Just recently one time it was so bad I just started crying.
I don't know what's causing it, I've tried telling my doctor but I don't think they understand how bad it is. I have found though, that if I'm laying on the couch for too long or if I try to lay on the floor, that's when it's worst.
You mentioned PT exercises, are you currently attending PT? If so I would ask them if they can modify some exercises for you. When I mentioned back pain my MW told me they could refer me to a physical therapy clinic.
Or like PP said check out a chiropractor?

Thanks for all the support! Helps to know others hurt too....
I checked with pt and he gave me these really hard exercises that I tried and tried and can't get...chiro sounds like a good next step. Just got out of the bath and am icing now....
Keep the advice coming and I'm sorry for those of u suffering too!!
