I've had bad lower back pain since Friday. Not period type pain but specifically in the 'navel' of my back which makes it v painful to walk, bend etc.

I've been to my GP who was basically useless and just advised to take painkillers and rest.

Been doing a bit of reading (don't you love self-diagnosis?) and it sounds more like sacroiliac pain to me.

In the meantime, I've turned into a complete drama queen, convinced myself that this means that I won't be able to have an active birth and could well have a broken back requiring the use of a wheelchair for the rest of my life. OK, I'm exaggerating.

Just wondering if there's anyone else in the same boat and what treatment worked for them?
