Shooting back pain

woke up in the middle of the night with shooting pain all along my left side/back. Almost brought me to tears. Ice seemed to make it worse and I just had to wait it out for 15-20 minutes, trying to breath through it.

I've been having some pain and discomfort on my right very low back/upper buttock that my yoga teacher said may be SI joint pain- thinking maybe all my back aches are related to this.

Has anyone gone to a chiropractor for this sort of pain?

    Sounds similar to my sciatic nerve pain! Never been to the chiro, but got a couple prenatal massages...they helped at the time, but did not make it stop coming back. Not super helpful, but you're not alone. Some night I wake up and can't move my right leg! It's almost stiff, except I can move it it just hurts so bad!

  • Sciatica sucks! I visit my chiropractor when it gets bad and I've heard that sitting on an exercise ball helps. Also, they sell foam rollers in the exercise section of stores, buy one, sit on it and roll back and forth. It'll help work that out. Ice and heat helps also. Good luck.

  • Yes! I've been scrolling through the pages thinking no one else had this problem! I just had a bad bout of it at wrk today. I feel your pain ladies and hope for a remedy. I have pillows all around me and hope to sleep well tonight. Will try heat pack and an exercise ball to sit on at work...
  • I had it with my first and I went to a chiro they basically prenatal massages and it really helped.... Now at 14 weeks I'm getting them again..... Planning on going back
