Scoliosis aaarrgghhhhh oh the pain!!! Rant (sorry)

[LittleMum]

Oh my god I am in soooooooo much pain ALL the time, just shoot me now!!!!! Lol

Doc has said I can take paracetamol and co codamol but I don't even like taking the paracetamol to be honest as feel bad.

Every time I do the slightest thing (bit of housework / meet a mate) I end up in agony for rest of the day and it's impossible to get comfy!!!

My lungs were always crap anyway dye to one being squashed by my wimpy ribcage but now I'm always struggling to breath

Sorry to moan, just not sure how much more I can take
Six weeks seems like forever, boo hoo hoo

Can totally sympathise with you hun, I've also got scoliosis and everyday is becoming more and more in tolierable to cope with....
Pain is spreading up my back (my lower back is where its curved) I can hardly breathe because of the pain and being asthmatic aint helping matters either :'(
I can't even walk up the stairs now, coming down ok but going up and I'm doubled over
Trying to take it easy but its so hard when there's still stuff I need to do or go and buy

Big hugs hun I know its horrible xxxxxx

 

[LittleMum]

Urgh yuk poor you
Are you having a cesarean or natural birth??

 

[MrsAgar]

I'm right there with you ladies! I have scoliosis too and somedays the back pain is unbearable! Sometimes when I bend over I can't get back up and end up limping for a day. It's awful. I have been having breathing issues the past few days too. So looking forward to little man making is entrance into the world!

I know how you feel, I have scoliosis and i am 41 weeks today. I am getting induced tomorrow afternoon. My back ache has been horrendous, try a hot bath that helps. I have rods in my back, do you girls? I saw a anaesthetist, he was brilliant, he explained that I could have a early epidural when i am dilating and also gave me the second option of remifentinol (which i want to steer well clear of) and third option of a C Section but I am going to try and do everything as natural as possible with the exception of G & A

Urgh yuk poor you
Are you having a cesarean or natural birth??

Natural, but my physio has given me a huge list of the best positions to give birth

 

[LittleMum]

I've opted for a c section as OH is scared natural will go horribly wrong!

I don't have rods, but I wore a brace during my teenage years

Have you tried a chiropractor? I have a bit of scoliosis of the lower back, so my right hip tends to ache a lot carrying around all this extra weight. My chrio does something where he presses on a certain spot on my right side and it seems to move the baby into a better position. It helps a LOT!
