I am begging for someone to give me a massage!!

Plzz someone help i am suffering from severe lower back pain , all around hip pain going down my leg.. I already have a 3 year old and a 9 month old son and 22 weeks pregnant .. I tried calling few massage ladies but no one is ready to give me a massage coz i am pregnant but the midwife said if paracetamol don't work u can get a massage done! today i completely broke in pieces as my older son hits the younger one a lot and doesn't share toys so he's always crying and i am there that cant even sit or walk so how will i be able to hold him i have no help . I have tried warm bath, hot water bottle and paracetamol , nothing works and midwifes don't help either !!
Can anyone else help in any way???!!

Get a couple of tennis balls and put them into a tube sock.  Then lie on them with the tennis balls pressing where you are sore.  Just lie and let the pressure lean in to the place that is sore.  Move around a little, and let the tennis balls and your weight do the work.  If we all did this, massage therapists would go out of business.  This can be done around your kids, no need to find a sitter while you go for a massage.

Try a chiropractor that specializes in pregnant women. It will work wonders for you! I'm 23 weeks with my 2nd and have went to a chiropractor with both pregnancies. Your body is going through alot of changes and you can get put of line easily plus your ligaments and muscles are stretching. I always feel so much better coming out of my chiropractors office

I really think if you're in that severe of pain, you should visit an er. That can be dangerous. Make sure everything is ok with you & baby, then keep checking for a massage therapist. They are out there, I promise. In the meantime, try the heating pad like someone above mentioned. But i would definitely get it checked out....that's concerning and scary.

Im so sorry to hear what you are going through... But have you tried going to your doctor? Sounds to me like maybe possibly your may hurt due to the fact you not to along ago had a baby...om mexican and we have myths saying its bad to massage ur back while pregnant due to a risk of a miscarriage..idk everyone different but most people wont message u at this stage of pregnancy...regarding your son hes just feeling ur preganancy
..since he's little too himself he may feel like he wont be center of attention totally normal to fight with ur baby. I feel like u may be frustrated with the situation about ur back pains and having a 9 month old and pregnant again..its horomones hun...try to relax and breath in and out...as regarding ur pains do u have history of any accidents, falls? Il 37 weeks but when i was ur weeks i did to have really bad hip and back pains but totally normal..sorry i hope i helped a little im not a doctor or anything but i do advice u to talk to ur ob...
