lower back pain in the sacrium area
Hey there,
Does anyone out there have severe lower back pain in the sacrium area?? I have been suffering since I was 3 months prenant and am now 24 weeks and the pain is unbelievable. I am struggling to walk most days and am getting so upset about it. I was such an active person before and now I cant do half of the things I love to do. I have no other friends at the moment who are pregnant and suffering with back pain as early as I have.
I have seen a chiropractor...very dodgy lying on my front at 17wks so decided that wasn't for me.
I have seen the phsiotherapist twice and she gave me exercises to do and sent me home with a support belt that does nothing but cause my baby to kick until I take it off.
I have tried yoga...I was in so much pain I cried half way through
I have a massage once a week on a bump bean bag which is great but releif is so temporary.
I do exercises every day on my exercise ball but it only allows me limited mobility.
Is there any one who has had a more positive reuslt from anything they have tried. PLease please help as I am now considering hiring an electric wheel chair just to go to the shops as I cant even do the food shopping and to get out the house.

Sounds to me like you have SPD like me. Have you seen my post about it?
I am also in a hell of a lot of distress. I'm now 36 weeks and it gets worse every day. I was also givin exercises and a belt, which have made no difference at all. Try asking for crutches cos they are supposed to help. I'm gonna ask for some on wednesday when i see the consultant.
My midwife has been very unsympathetic and has just said that when i have the baby the pain will go. I cant give any advice really cos i'm still looking for a way to make the pain easier.
Sorry i cant be much help, really wish i could cos i know how distressing it is!!

I relly know how you feel. I am 35 weeks and finally going to see doctor tomoro. Midwife not very helpfull in this area. I thought mine was due to working but fineshed week ago and has got worse in last few days. I am in pain all the time particuarlly lying inbed and sitting down. The only time iam pain free is inthe bath i have at leat three a day! I am very tearfull this week with the pain as i think im absolutely exhausted i wake every hour with severe cramp like pains down the cheeks of my arse and the backs of my legs. I have support belt but like you my baby goes mental and it presses on my bladder making me want a wee every five minutes instead of ten! I will let you know how i get on at doctors tomoro i just hope i dont make afool of myself and start crying as now im worried abou tgiving birth feel like i might snap! x
Let me know how you go and keep in touch. I hope you find some releif and can make it through the labour ok. My midwife has said she will make every effort to guarantee me the birthing pool so I dont have to put strain on my back. Perhaps you could ask your mid wife about your hopsital pool.
Good luck
