Hi - sorry but what is the definition of SPD? I've been getting a stitch-like pain between my pubic bone and hip and was thinking it's the ligaments stretching? It was so painful I had to stop walking today on my daily walk. First time its happened.
thanks
 
ive harldey slept a wink, im so tired and in so much pain think i did too much yesterday and as a result im in pain, OH was out last night and my 4yr old son fell asleep on the couch and i carried him upstairs, the pain was agonising i though i was gonna break in 2 i think next time i.l just get the duvet and sleep with him on the couch, OH hungover on the couch just said " will you make me a cup of tea" i bit his head of screaming im in pain you idiot do it your self and hobbled out.

i think this is the worse its ever been, got a heat pack on right now sat down but im going to have to move its hurting siting down

its genrally pain in the joints within the pelvis bone structure , genrally located more towards the front and people who have pain in the back of their pelvis in the joints there tend to use PGP instead hope these links help

oh hun you really have to stop doing things like that, im just so thankful we have DS in his toddler bed so i only have to go and open his door and he will get up and come downstiars with me in the morning no more lifting him out of the cot which used to start me off for the morning,

You should try alternating heat and ice packs my physio said that ice is more likely to work
 
Well I've had to take today off work sick. I can't move in bed without being in agony, I could hardly walk this morning with crutches the pain was so bad & its not just in my hips, its down my thighs & across my front bone too.:cry:

I got halfway downstairs to ge breakfast & my hips just gave out the pain was excrutiating I actually though I was going to have to shout & get OH to come & rescue me.

I've goggled acupuncture & found a clinic plus 2 other ppl who do acupuncture in the town I work so I'm gonna give them a ring & see if the treatment rooms are downstairs. One also gave mobile no so they may even do home visits. So thats my job for Monday.

Shining star I know how difficult it is to stay positive whne the pain is so bad. I just hope when I see consultant on 4th he get management plan in place 'cos having dates to work to really helps.
 
I could never carry my son up the stairs, LOL he nearly six though I guess, I'm afraid I'd have to have woken him up, I'm scared carrying Olivia up the stairs at weekends! YOu gotta try and not do things like that!

Caroline, sorry things are bad for you too, but at least you stayed home, Hope you have some joy with the acupuncturist! It did seem to work albeit a little shortlived.
 
oww im hurting and i havent even done the first nappy change today and im not looking forward to doing it as it is going to hurt bad
 
Hi ladies

I have had a nice time with my family, they've let me rest lots and been understanding about not being able to go for a walk or to the park. The pain has been bad and my codeine isn't even helping now.

I was meant to go home yesterday but after putting my case into his car, my sister's boyfriend (who was meant to give me a lift to the station) locked his keys in his car! By the time he managed to get to his house to get a spare, I had missed the only coach. I looked at trains but they are chaos on a Sunday afternoon and there was only 10 minutes for my change. So I had to stay last night.

I am really finding it hard with the pain. I am a deep sleeper so have been getting more sleep than a lot of you. I was meant to see my GP this morning but obviously being 78 miles away, I had to cancel! He's not in til Thursday now. :cry:
 
Hey Girls,
hope you're all ok.
I'm off to see the consultant tomorrow to set the date for the section god i can't wait to just know when this pain will be over with. I'm hardly sleeping now cos i'm in so much pain if it's not the hip dislocating it's the grinding in my pelvis i can't win! then there's the getting up 4 times a night to pee and that just starts it all off again ARGH.
Roll on tomorrow night when the real countdown starts!
 
not long now aflight!

im seeing the doctor tomorrow about going back work, i simply can not afford to stay off, i had just been signed off again too for another 4 weeks, ive spoke to work and they are thrilled i maybe coming back i wont be seeing to the heavier clients and may do some office work too. just hope the doctor will let me go back.
 
oh im glad im not going anywhere today its like the sky is falling with the rain level outside,
and going upstairs to get ds in a few min is going to kill bad but he needs to get up and start the day, man do i wish my family were nearby about now as i could just call mum and get her to take him for the day, i didnt sleep half bad last night just was so short it seemd caus DH woke me up when he got up to go to work this morning

Could you maybe go part time?

i will be doing part time 18 hours a week max. which is 3, 6 hour shifts so it should be ok.
my mum isnt pleased with me for going back, but i have 2 other children to think about as well, i know the baby is safe and snug in me. i will just have to be careful!
pain is moderate today, got my heated beany thing on. i just wish i could sleep through the night!
 
Hi Ladies

Just have to say how much admiration I have for all you ladies coping with spd and having young children too. OMG -I have relatively older kids -7,12 and 15 who need some running about after but at least I dont have to lift them, or change nappies (diapers) or puch a pushchair etc -you poor things!!! How on earth do you cope?

I am off to GP again this morning -needing to extend my sickline. I feel soooooooo guilty for not going back to work. Keep thinking maybe next week, then it comes around and I am still in pain, still struggling with crutches etc... And also, really worry about going to the GP -in case they think I am a fraud.

Oh well, Time to go, Have a good day ladies - hope you are all reasonably well.

good luck at the gp hun

you should understand how we do it having kids yourself hun, as a Mum you just do whats required of you even if it makes you hurt so bad you cry, its part of being a Mum putting those kids first all the time. Thankfully my DS is walking and able to handle the stiars and in a toddler bed so apart from lifting in and out of the puschair then i really dont have to lift him much, its more the getting down to do nappies and tidy up that get me bad
 
Well back from the docs and signed off for a further 3 weeks, now need to phone my work and share the news with them. Not looking forward to that!

Oh well - I am back at physio tomorrow for hopefully some pelvic manipulation -will either cure me or kill me I presume. xx
 
Does anyone have a recliner chair/settee? It has worked wonders for me not lying completely flat. I still have pain but im no longer in agony and can actually walk and i get some sleep!!!

I sleep on mine which isnt nice with OH in the bedroom but it wont be forever!
 
ive been the doctors they are reluctantly letting me return to work and has written in big black letters LIGHT DUTIES ONLY and has also give my 30/500mg co-codamol. in pain now as OH knocked into me accidently.
