HIP PAIN!!!

[smjmekg]

About two and a half years ago I was told I had an inflamed hip, left side. Since then it's bugged me on and off and it's been becoming more painful over the last few weeks. Tomorrow I start week 20 of this pregnancy, and I really don't know how in the heck I'll survive the pain the next 20 weeks. It gets so I can barely walk, it feels like my hip is coming out of joint, my dad is a radiologist so he explained all the bones that are hurting, it's mostly in the back right where the left hip joint joins my spine, and it's starting to go to the outside of my hip on my thigh and in my groin. I've got at least two weeks until I can see a dr again, and I'm just curious if anyone has any suggestions to help with the pain...I'm obviously not going to take any pain medication besides tylenol, and I haven't yet because I don't like taking it in general let alone when I'm pregnant. So anyone have any suggestions for I can try?

I had hip pain with my last pregnancy and this time I've had it since the 2nd trimester.  Sometimes it's excrutiating and just makes me want to break out in tears.  The best suggestions I have are to limit your activity (as much as possible with a toddler), sleep with a pillow between your knees and ask your doctor if there is something safe you can take.  My doctor gave me lortab but I'm not to take it more than once MAYBE twice a week.  Sometimes I just take a half pill and only if I've had to be very active that day and I can't take it any more.

Can you do floor excersies?? My SIL had a hip problem whilst pregnant and she now hasto have an Operation because of the baby making it worse.

Floor excersies (I cant spell) might help?
