PGP and SPD
Hey,
I just got the delight of being diagnosed with PGP (pelvic girdle pain), now I have never heard of this but these were my symptoms:
Shooting pain in my bum when I get up
Period like pains in my sides.
Achy painful hips
Clicking hips and knees
I asked the midwife what this was and she said PGP which is a form of SPD basically with PGP you feel the pain in the back and with SPD you feel the pain in the front (pubic area). Now I have to go for physio etc as walking and sleeping and sitting (well more or less everything) is getting quite painful.
Has anyone else heard of PGP or been diagnosed with it?

My gp prescribed me painkillers and I am to see how I go for next couple of weeks then will be referred to physio. My midwife also suggested a support belt, to hold everything together as she said it was the softening of the bones and them stretching further apart so a support belt should hold everything together more to ease the pain. I am going shopping tomorrow and going to go into boots and grab one and see how I get on with this.
Hope this helps xx
I hadn't even heard of PGP before and thought that because the pain was primarily in my hips and my back rather than my pubic area that it could not possibly be SPD, but clearly I was wrong.

If you think you have it I would def ring mw to get checked out as leaving it will only make it worse.
Hey Madnbella - Was your described as PGP or SPD? my bum hurts so frickin' much lol and my right hip doesn't really move anymore I am practically dragging it behind me like quazimodo (sp) lol

I also mentioned to her about having details on maternity notes and she said to take them in before I give birth and she will make sure that it is documented on my notes how far my legs will open! Would suggest you all get this done!
Glad you have all been diagnosed and not snubbed so are getting the right treatment!
Take care ladies,
Love Lee
