back pain that's NEVER ENDING!!!! :(

This is my third pregnancy so this shouldn't be anything new to me BUT I really don't recall having extreme back Pain this early. I'm 19 weeks and a few days. The only relief I'm actually getting at the moment is getting into the shower, sitting down & letting the constant flow of the water hit my back. Can't keep this up,  I get out looking like a lobster lol. Seriously though,  any advice besides Tylenol.  I hate taking medication during pregnancy.

I see a physio/ wellness/ massage lady, and my god, I had a fall, and after she worked on my back for 30 mins, I was feeling soooo much better. Chiro's are amazing straight after a deep tissue massage too, because you're so relaxed. I'm not sure how creams are in pregnancy... The heat producing ones... I used to swear by them every time I got a backache.

(oh & I got new tennis shoes for walking with more support to help my back... So, make sure you have good shoes for that. Walking is supposed to  stretch/elongate the spine)

This is my first pregnancy. I've had TERRIBLE lower back pain (sciatic nerve pain). It literally hurt to sneeze! Lol I'm 16 weeks. I just started prenatal yoga and walking a few times a week. OMG... It has done wonders.  I was ready to try a chiropractor & acupuncture if the yoga didn't work, but so far it's working.  If you do try a yoga class make sure it is specifically a prenatal class. Also don't wait too long to start bc after 25 weeks is really *not* the time to just barely start a class.
