    Thats what DP does. He said he could feel a huge knot a little while ago when i complained of pain. Last night i found it again i pressed on it and the pain was so bad. I have woken up this morning and both my hips and lower back are so sore. I can barely move and i have to work 6 hours today... hopefully i can get through today and tomorrow. I have monday off i will rest and then when i see my doctor on tuesday i will mention something.

    Yeah, i know it can really kill BUT if you can work it out the ongoing pain will lessen. A dr probably wont be able to help out much (cos most anti-inflamm drugs are out whilst you are pg), but if you can see a massage therapist or physio, they might be able to help loosen you up.

    There are also some stretches you can do to relieve the pain. Sitting and place the leg on the affected side of the opp knee (ankle over knee) and leaning forward often gets a good stretch there. A physio will be able to help you manage sciatica pain.

    If you're experiencing huge amounts of pain followed by blackouts or dizziness, it is likely that your blood pressure is HIGH during those moments. A common physiological reaction to pain is an increase in blood pressure, breathing, and heart rate as well as sweating. If you feel like that, sit down until it passes. Take deep slow breaths to try to bring your heart rate back down.

    If this has happened more than once, I'd get it checked out hon
