Hip pain

My hips have spread really quickly this time. My lower back is swollen as well. My chiropractor said that in his 7 years and hundreds of pregnant patients it's the first time he has seen it to this extent. I'm in constant pain and the baby isn't even very big yet!

The only thing I have found that helps at all is going to the chiropractor, but that is getting expensive. Is anyone else dealing with this? Have you found anything that helps? I'm open to trying anything that is safe for the baby at this point.

I miss Advil :(

    I'm sorry you're experiencing this to that extent, it sounds terrible. I have no advice, but have you spoke to your ob about this as well?

  • Lurking for answers, too ... but will add that my MFM said it was fine to use NSAIDS intermittently since it's really the only thing that helps certain types of pain. Ask your practitioner - s/he may also allow 1-2 days of advil use to every 2-3 days without it depending on your circumstances.
  • My next midwife appointment is in two weeks. I will definitely be bringing it up. I'm trying to make due until then.

  • @NunyaBennis‌ thanks for the advice! I may call and ask what my midwife thinks. That would be fantastic.

  • I went to the Chiro on Friday because of this too.  My right hip has been so bad and it is now pressing on my sciatic. It's lots of fun.  I found out that from carrying DS on my left hip my body is way out of wack. 

    I am hunched and my left side is all lower than my right making my spine look like a "c".

    She is doing a combo of chiro, massage and possibly PT to fix it the best we can while pregnant.  I am also trying to carry DS on the other side, or I will when I can lift him again. 

    I will be talking to my OB this week about possible pain Leif if needed. 

    Not that my problems will help you but at least we are not alone?!?
