I am 21 weeks pregnant and my lower back is killing me what can i do to help ease the pain?
Heat pack?
Also the neurofen gel should be ok.
I'd speak to a chemist
Chiro, acupuncture and massage :) I each of these regularly through my pg and the saved my life I reckon ;)
I saw a chiro regularly for my last pregnancy due to lower back pain and it made a huge difference :).
Try Osteopathy. In my last pregnancy I could barely walk for 6 weeks. Turns out my pelvis had tilted slightly and she gently worked her magic and within a week I was fine. She then went on to help me prepare for birth and I am sure she had something to do with my quick and drug free labour. Get someone who specialises in pregnancy/birth.
Other than that, if it's just muscular, heat packs are great and you can take Panadol Osteo which is stronger than normal panadol, but can only be taken 6 hourly. Good luck
I walk in the water. It's amazing how much it helps. I don't think I even need to see the physio anymore....I'm about 19 weeks and have been sore for 6 weeks until I started alking up and down a pool.....
