Signed off for a week :(
Hey everyone,
Just come on to feel sorry for myself really I have been told by my GP to stay off of work for a week cos of my back pain I cant sit on my left buttock at all the pain in referring from my sacroilliac joint.
The best part is im a physio! I have been struggling on at work for a week but finally gave in today as the commute is so painful I cant sit. She has done me an urgent physio referall thank god to see if that helps.
I was expecting pain as I have a long history of back and hip problems but I thought I would get past 14 weeks!! Anyone else having back pain yet!?

I didn't have any issues with my back with ds so really suprised about this.
Hope the physio is successful and you get some relief soon x
Thanks for the messages it is still miserable 2 days on bed rest and i just had to drive to town 5 mins away and the pain in my left bottom cheek was just the same! I cant see it ever getting better, im so worried about taking the time of work and how it might affect my maternity pay if i have to have a long time off just feeling quite low at the moment

my concern with maternity pay is that it is calculated on the last 2 months work prior to the expected week of child birth, so i only get 3 months full pay sick so if i am off sick with this for the next 6 months (may be a possibility given my back and hip history) then may mat leave will be affected just so stressful times at the moment

Do rest and hopefully, physio can set you back on your feet enough that you can head into work again. Don't worry now though, just rest and heal. Tomorrow will come soon enough, so just take care of today.
