I am about 8 weeks. I also have a pinched nerve in my back. Over the last several years I have had to get shots in my back to help with the pain. Usually around every six-eight months is when pain comes back. My last round of shots was last summer so right on time for pain to start returning. If I work out usually I go longer. I was working out a lot but since I found out I was pregnanct about 3 weeks ago I got stomach flu, a deep chest cough and other things that have pretty much kept me on the couch. My pain is starting to return this week. I know I can't get the shots this time. What do other people do to deal with back pain. It's my sciatic nerve. It was really bad before I started getting shots. Don't want it to get so bad while pregnant. Any suggestions?
