My body is falling apart (vent)

My OB referred me to physical therapy after I hurt my back last week, and here's what I found out:
My pelvis is seperating (somewhat normal) but not symmetrically. The left side is tilting forward and the right side is tilting back, so the whole thing is kind of twisted. Also, my sacrum is really separated from both sides. I'm telling people that my spine is detaching from my pelvis, cause that's basically what's happening. Tylenol barely touches the pain, but I can't have anything stronger.
The lower back muscle I pulled is spasming, which is tugging things even more, but no muscle relaxers for pregnant ladies. Maybe ice will help. Yay.
Also, I've always had an arched back, but things have shifted so that it's so arched that my vertibrae aren't stacked properly anymore. I don't even know what that means.
So I have some homework excercises, an official lifting restriction (not that I've attempted to lift much of anything after last weeks injury). I got fitted for a support belt today, which I hope helps somewhat. I get to see the physical therapist twice a week until I deliver, and probably a bunch post partum too.
I'm just feeling really sorry for myself, cause wallowing in self-pity is probably the best attitude to have about all of this. I knew pregnancy was going to be unfun, but this is so much harder than I expected.
In honor of Thanksgiving being less than a week away, please enjoy this pumpkin triffle.

I'm so sorry that you're in so much pain! I hope the exercises and everything else helps a little bit at least!

I have never made it, I just thought it looked delicious and seasonal, and needed something to offer as a reward for reading my self-indulgent whining.
@pennstated912 They technically said "don't lift anything" but didn't yell at me when I carried my 5lb purse out of the PT appointment. 10lbs is about where it starts hurting, so I'm trying to avoid picking up anything over about 8lbs.
