I have experienced considerable pain and discomfort from SPD. For me it started around 30 weeks or so and just got progressively and steadily worse. At its worst, I seriously could not walk. I was sure I would end up in a wheelchair by the end!

But, I got some great help from my chiro. The first time he adjusted my pelvis and that helped a bit, but not heaps. Then the second time he did something where he untwisted a ligament at the back of my pelvis. It was super gentle- so much so that I was like "yeah right, as if this is going to help!". But it did! I still get the pain, but it is not debilitating now and quite bearable.

I still need to sit down on the bed to put on my pants and socks, and try to move my legs together. Rolling over in bed feels the worst.

One thing, when I did realise what was going on, I did quite a bit of SPD research and I found that you do need to be careful about the positions you birth in when you have SPD. Because the area is already stretched, it can be easier to cause permanent damage. Apparently, you need to make sure you dont spread your legs too wide (like, avoid stirrups), and try different positions like on all fours or on your side.

Good luck to all fellow SPD sufferers!!
