This pregnancy has been a PAIN IN THE BACK...
I have never suffered back pain until now, and now I know how much of a hinderence it really is. Such a bother all the time, it never goes away. This started about 2 weeks ago, so I went for a massage and it didn't help. I had a VERY BUSY AND HEAVY weekend at work so I don't think that helped either. I need to stop lifting and sliding 250 pound patinets over, its not safe for me nor is it healthy.
So apparently this is what Sciatica feels like. Nerve pain, almost like a sore tooth you keep pushing to see if it still hurts. On Monday I was supposed to clean my filthy house and do laundry but i couldn't lift anything. I walked on my left tippy toe all day because it hurt to put my heel down, now this is not normal for sure.
Today is wednesday and its still not gone, I feel better but I'm afraid to lift anything or I could trigger it, I've either pulled something out of wack, or this little baby is causing me grief.
I just need to be carefull and look after myself.....any suggestions other then massage? It didn't help at all

When my left SI joint goes out of whack I put a warm compress on and lay on my back cross my left leg over my right one and bring my knees into my chest as much as I can. I know that's not always easy with a big belly, but it may help.
