severe back pain
by spade22, Jan 28, 2008 04:49PM
Hi ladies!
Does anyone have any advice for severe lower back pain? I'm only 19 weeks but my lower back is killing me! I cant sit in the same spot for too long due to the pain and I have trouble bending over - it feels like my back needs to be "popped into place" or something. I also have pain extending down from my lower back to my knee so I think the sciatic nerve must be involved. I was having some lower back pain BEFORE I got pregnant - I have a particular gene that causes "reactive arthritis" so this may be something more than just pregnancy back pains.
Ive tried icing my back but that doest help and tylenol doesn't seem to do much. I have read that exercise is helpful but find I am aways too tired for any exercise! My next doctors appointment isn't for another 3 weeks. Any suggestions?
