Back pain!

[Khadijah-x]

I can't handle it

It's usually exacerbated by sitting in the car, on sofa, chairs etc. The pain comes and just won't go away for a good day.. and by that point I've sat on a other chair that's brought it on or in the car.. never any relief! I'm squirming around in all different positions as we speak to try and bring some ease but it's constant.

What's causing this? What can I do to relieve it?

The pain is in the middle left side (picture attached) where the hand is, and above that too.

I don't have much help to offer, except that my back hurts too! I've been told it's normal, a part of growing pains and also the hormones making muscles relax. Its been suggested that I use a heating pad. It does help some. Maybe that will help you too?

I have this! Literally every day... Mine is so bad that ive debated signing off work. Its only 'not there' when im lying down. I wake up, it starts by 10 and is unbareable by 2.

What can you do for it? Not much!

I see a physio, massage therapist, and Chiro.. Between the three, kinesio tape, and heat i can get the pain from severe to moderate but not gone.

What they all tell me.. I had loose ligaments and tendons pre pregnancy, pregnancy made them worse. I have muscle weakness on my left side and am working to strengthen my rhomboids, lower back and whatever the long muscle is beside my spine.. Cant remember. My ribs also continually dislocate on that side because theres no muscle stability.. And likely my uterus is pushing them out of alignment. fun huh?m

If you go in my journal about three days back i posted a pic of how my physio tapes up my back and belly.. To relieve pressure, support proper posture, and increase blood flow for healing

Between all of it, something is slowly working.. But ive had the pain 4+ months and at this routine for over a month now.

When I was pregnant with my last baby I suffered with sciatica. Apparently he was lying on my sciatic nerve. It was excruciating and I got no relief what so ever. I was literally miserable for the rest of my pregnancy

Really hope it doesn't happen this time

It is terrible. I had sciatica pre pregnancy.. Its gotten much worse with pregnancy! But i can at least manage and know what triggers it.. Its nothing compared to the mid back pain! Blah
