05-8-2009 - Back Pain

My mood while writing this blog:
Sick of being in Pain

I was on summer break for 9 glorious weeks but had to go back this week for pre-planning and it sucks MAJORLY!!!! I have made it a point to sit most of the time but the walks that I do have are killing me. I have a MEAN waddle for a walk. My back hurts like HELL and I am seriously thinking of getting a motorized wheelchair to move around in. NO JOKE!! I wake up crying and in pain every morning, !!! I can't even pick my feet up off the ground, so I shuffle my feet. UGGGGhhhhh it sucks!!!
I don't want to go on bedrest b/c I have stuff to do but I am MISERABLE and it seems like my doctors are chopping it up to regular pregnancy back pain but something is NOT NORMAL here. I sleep with a body pillow and a heating pad every night and everything is ok until I have to walk or my bladder is full then it is PURE HELL!!! What should I do? I don't want to be a PUNK about the situation as I know everyone who is pregnant goes through something BUT I just want to scream, "I AM IN PAIN!!!!" until someone hears me besides my husband and my mother. I am 27, about to turn 28 next month, and my mother wants to call my doctor and tell her about the pain so they can manage it better, lol...she is still playing her protective role 27 yrs later.

I am so frustrated!!!! Any suggestions????

Go to the Dr, your mother is right. Don't mess with your back if it is painful it is trying to tell you something and you can't get a new one. Hope you are OK

Back pain is no fun and sounds like yours is awful. You might want to purchase a maternity belt that has back and hip support. I purchased one because I am dealing with the same issues. I also alternate my heating pad with a cold pack every 20 mins. If that doesn't give you some relief than I would suggest talking to your doctor. Momma needs to be taken care of too!

Hey there, hope you pain is easing up a bit. I had severe back pain w/my last pregnancy to the point I could hardly stand straight and walk (seriously) It was the way my baby was positioned and putting loads of pressure on my spine. Anyway, my Dr finally prescribed me a mild muscle relaxer to take when she saw I truly could hardly get up and walk to the bathroom. Maybe ask your Dr about it for you?? I hated to take anything, but I was already on bed rest and this was still happening, so I knew it wasn't a matter of me doing too much. Hope you find some relief!!

Call the dr and see what they say? Have you ever heard of scaictic pain(sp?) Not saying that's what you have but have the dr look in to it. I work in retail and I stand all day! So I know what it is to have some back pain! I have to go to so much just to try to get a chair, hopefully I will get approved soon for one! I hope your back gets better asap mama, just think your almost there!
