Back Spasms - what to do?

After 2 weeks of horrible back pain, I finally went to my family doctor. I'm having back spasms and there's nothing they can do for me thanks to my 22 week pregnant belly. Any suggestions on ways to alleviate this horrible pain?

  • Flexeril is category B.  I've had to take it before.

  • Consult with your OB? Chiropractor?Maybe try some simple stretches or perhaps wearing a maternity support belt will help.
                                                                                      
  • I have been having terrible lower back pain, and my midwife suggested trying prenatal yoga and looking up some prenatal stretches to try. She also said that if you have the money, a prenatal massage can be really helpful in alleviating some of the pain. So far, the stretches have helped me somewhat, although the pain is definitely not gone. Best of luck to you! 
  • hi, yes i would suggest to get adjusted by a  chiropractor.
