Ive really hurt my back getting up off the couch today. I did the same thing a couple of years ago and the dr prescribed 25mg pred for 3/7. Now I've just found them... Are they okay to take? It's killing me and I can hardly walk I'm in so much pain. Should I call the pharmacist or the birth suite or something? Ty
I really wouldn't until you've spoken to a pharmacist or doctor. They might be out of date anyway. What painkillers have you got?
I'm not sure to be honest, I would check with the pharmacist as well as the hospital to make sure. :hug: hope your back eases off soon x
I agree i would ask before taking them. Hope you feel better soon.
I've got mersyndol here I can take. I'm such an idiot I've been so careful :( I'll call the pharmacy now.
They are in date I checked :/
Don't be harsh on yourself, it's not your fault. I would ask about the mersyndol as well.
Blah he said it's safe as long as a dr is monitoring you
So that would be no then? Do you have any panadeine or panadeine forte? and cold packs
Well there's no dr monitoring me. I just want to cry :(
I have a wheat bag, no panadiene but mersyndol is ok
I can never remember if cold or hot is better. Well rest up and get waited on hand and foot then. :)
Ha as if.
What about decorub?
Wouldn't have a clue to be honest. Damn pregnancy hormones loosening everything up!
i know :( looks like no work for me tomorrow
Damn shame about not working tomorrow ;)
Is decorub like deep heat? if yes, then no you can't use that either.
Yeah damn :( I tried a wheat bag with no result. I'm seriously thinking of taking the pred
Get an appointment tomorrow with a physio or chiro. They will be able to relieve some of the pain for you. I saw a physio during my last trimester for DS1 and it was just plain heaven! I couldn't lay on my tummy or back, just worked whatever was comfortable and is was great.
When you ring, tell them you are prengant how far along and what has happend, you should be able to get in straight away.
Where are you having baby? Ring the hospital and check with the Mid Wives (or Feeb??)
Have you googled for information? Thats what I usually do if I'm not sure and I can't get any info from a chemist.
I took prednisolone when I was pregnant for asthma. If you're unsure though don't take it until you speak to a dr or phamicist.
Hope you feel better soon A. :hug:
I called the hospital and they said what I thought. Don't take it until I've seen a dr. Great now I'm just in tears :(
You've got nothing with codeine in it there?
Awwww A - being pregnant can be the worst when it comes to pain meds.........sorry if I am stating the obvious, but can you try the shower?
Prednisolone is a steriod so I would be careful taking it whilst pg without talking to your doc. Poor thing a sore back is the worst.
Prednisone/prednisolone may be a steroid, but I believe that it's not one that crosses the placenta.
For what it's worth, I was on prednisone right through my pregnancy, but never more than 10mg per day. It's often used to treat some conditions which cause miscarriage.
I know what I'd do if it were me, but certainly don't want to pressure you into doing something you're not comfortable with.
Hugs hun I hope your pain has settled for you.
As I said in chat it can wreck havic with sugar levels etc so you really need to see a Dr before taking.
See an osteo or physio or chiro (which ever floats your boat personally I love physio and osteo)
Hugs xoox
I had back pain at 37 weeks, couldn't walk also, had a Drs app that morning, really struggled, he said panadol, or panadine, heat pack, rest!!!! I know thats not much comfort, I just layed on the couch, then got up and would walk around for a bit, then lay again. I found if I layed too long it made things worse. I also got in the shower in baby pose, (yoga), I think thats whats its called and let the warm to hot water run on my lower back, it was really good if you can get in the shower. Or maybe a bath with some Radox muscle soak?? Good luck, hope you fell better today.
