Back pain & feeling a bit 'crook'

[dan-o]

Hi guys, me again, I was wondering if anyone could help?

So.. I woke up this morning with a really stiff lower back, right down at the very tip of my spine.

It's got steadily worse through the day & now I can't even sit or stand without sharp pain which subsides into a dull throb. If I cough/sneeze/bear down it feel like someone is kicking me hard up the butt.

Is this possibly something to do with the MC I'm waiting for? Or a coincidence? (I'm 12 weeks tomorrow & my baby died approx 3.5 weeks ago)

It seem too low down to me, but then I have no experince of this.

I've done nothing to strain my back, I didn't even exercise yesterday.
I was fine last night, just felt a bit exhausted.

I also have a tender lower abdomen, especially if I press it around the womb/ovary area & feel very out of sorts in myself. Still no sign of bleeding tho.

I'll definitley pay the EPU a visit in the morning, as I'm worried about the sore belly & feeling unwell, but I don't think anyone will be there over the weekend.

What do you think?

I've been having lower back pain since the day after my (2weeks ago), my gp tells me it is sciatica and i'm currently waiting for an appointment for physio but i'm not sure that is what the problem is as today I have started having brownish staining and i'm worried that there is something wrong. I'm going to contact the epu 1st thing tomorrow. Hope you feel better soon xxx

hey sweets, hope you're feeling ok now... and that the back pain doesn't get too unbearable. hold in there and I hope you get the answers you want/need from the EPU tomorrow. For you, I hope that the bleeding starts soon, and finishes sooner, so that you can stop feeling in limbo.

yesterday i had bad lower back pain to the point i had to stay bent of i could not stand straight up. I stood in a hot shower with it on the point of my back that hurt. Then went to sleep. It took me forever to fall asleep because of the pain. then woke up this-morning and it feels way better. i have more movement now but it hurts to sneeze. and i cant bend straight down i have to go slanted sort of. I had my MC already on Feb 5th. Bleed till Feb 8th then that was it.

Really hope you feel better Dan-O

sounds like sciatica. Sleep with a pillow between your legs on your side. Hope you are doing OK.

I called the EPU this morning & they said I might have the start of an infection, or it might be things starting to happen. Although, infection seem unlikely with no discharge & to be honest I don't feel like I will MC any time soon.

Grrr I'm so fed up with all of this right now I should have just had the surgery when it was offered, sod the risks & trying to do it 'naturally'

They tried to get me a slot to be induced or D&C as soon as possible, but they don't even have a cancellation slot until friday. I am on the list to be called in tho.

I can go in via A&E & just wait, so if I get any worse, I might do that.

Gahh, I know it's my own fault, but I am climbing the walls right now!!!!

Hey hun,

It sounds the start of it to me

If you go to A&E they will give you stronger drugs to take, so this might be your best option.
