Back pain!!!

So, thanks to a previous back injury, bad genes when it comes to back problems, and a tilted uterus that is currently pushing into a nerve on my spine, my back is KILLING ME!!! I mean, it's so bad the spasms have literally made me collapse. Anyone have any tips on managing it? I'm not supposed to be using a heating pad, and to be honest, I don't think it would help anyways since I don't think it's a matter of muscles needing to relax, and of course every chiropractor in the area is closed for New Years :(

    Hey Skittles!  I have severe back pain even when I'm not pregnant due to a childhood injury.  Heat is not good for it.  Use ice packs for it.  The one thing that has worked the best for me especially during pregnancy it yoga.  Hope this helps!

    Thank you! I'm going to have to try some yoga poses and see if they help take some of the pressure off my back :) I can't believe I didn't think about yoga!

    You are welcome!  I suffered for so long with my back pain before I started doing yoga.  Once I did, I was able to quit using the meds that were prescribed to me and everything.  Now I don't miss a day without doing at least a few poses.

    I have had back problems for quite a few year, unbearable back pain. My chiro recommended stretches. The one that helps me the most is sitting with your back straight then push your hips forward and you shoulders backwards. It stretches your lower back. Do that about 5 times. Also as above, pregnancy yoga is really great, just don't push yourself too much at first or you will hurt your back more. Good luck!!
