Any one else have excrutiating tailbone pain? After 33 weeks of an absolutely wonderful symptomless pregnancy, I feel like I am being punished.
It hurts to stand, walk, sit down, get up, lay down, turn over. Every movement I make feels like my nerves are being severely pinched at the bottom of the tailbone.
I realize that the ligaments are loosening now and that it's normal to have joint pain which I do have in my fingers but this is on another level.
So my question is, donut cushion hasn't helped, sitting in a hot bath doesn't help because I can't sit properly and it's uncomfortable, tylenol doesn't help, icy hot doesn't help, what if anything can I do?
I have emailed my doctor, awaiting a reply and thought I'd throw it to the forums.
Have you got a massage? Maybe acupuncture? I have RLP constantly and moving around is just getting uncomfortable period. Whether that's getting up from sitting, sleeping, out of the car...just constantly. I think it is part of the struggle with end of the third tri.
I had the same exact thing for over a month with my first pregnancy and for a few weeks with this pregnancy. Unfortunately NOTHING helped! My doctor said that it is just the position of the baby and how they are laying on nerves etc. Just when I thought I couldn't take it anymore, the baby must have repositioned himself and the pain went away. Hopefully you get some relief soon.
I have been having this for several weeks. I went to the chiropractor first and he did a small adjustment but said it was everything spreading out getting ready for baby and suggested massage. The massage has helped tremendously. After mt third treatment the pain is much less. I also alternatr between sitting with a pillow at my back and sitting on an excercise ball. Hope you feel better
Me me me! I'm also dealing with this same excruciating pain. I can hardly stand uo after sitting down. The pain is so breathtaking. I'm miserable. Hoping it goes away soon.

I have had the same issue off and on for awhile. Try prenatal yoga- I've been finding it is worse when I miss a class.
Unfortunately as others said I think it is the position of the baby.
