Thanks Ladies. You've kind of confirmed what I was thinking...do something about it now!

My major concern is my DD still being so young - you try to lift correctly, but unfortunately you can't always (cot, bath etc). Plus when I'm carrying her it's always on the one hip and there is no way around it. Not sure if I'll go with a physio or chiro yet but I'll definitely look into the shorts and belts suggested.

Thanks again and I hope those of you who are still suffering are pain free soon xx
