delphmoon - Hasn't been done in three weeks and won't get done until next week. Wouldn't be surprised if it was up though - have had big, big very nasty family dramas resulting in a lot of stress. Could that have something to do with it?

UntoldAngel - it feels very much muscular. Sitting up hurts a lot, lying down hurts a little less, movement not restricted and doesn't hurt turning left or right. It feels like it is a muscular pain running down the muscles in my back just a tiny bit to the right of my left shoulder blade and it sort of follows the outline of it if that makes any sense!

Thank you ladies My husband is terrible at massage and hates doing it but last night I started crying and demanded he try to rub it for me. It hurt like hell and I know he didn't have much pressure on there so I'm pretty sure it's muscular. I got maybe a minute of massage before he said his hand hurt too much and he couldn't keep going so I got him to rub some deep heat in (checked it with the pregnancy drug help line linked with my hospital and they said to go for it) and it felt better this morning but now I've been up for a while the pain is starting to kick in again.

Borrowing the money to get it fixed isn't an option. I'm having huge, huge family dramas at the moment that have turned very nasty and given that my family consists entirely of my parents we're stuck. Hopefully some of the other ideas work
