The only time I was pain free was during hydrotherapy. I would drive & hobble in on crutches, then slowly change and hobble out to the pool. I did exercises to help but mostly I just floated and enjoyed the lack of pain. It was 40min of bliss, especially as I needed help getting in & out of the bath at home.

I also had physio and think one made it worse, even though she specialised in pelvic issues. Osteo was a life saver. Next tume, I'll be trying chiro as well.

I used SRC pregnancy shorts. They're exxy though, about $180 i think.

I once had a 87 year old helping me into a car after I overdid it. That was tough for me to accept but in the end, I learnt if you cant walk, you take whatever help you can get.
