Thread: I cried **update #22**

Last night I was in so much pain I cried. It's getting really hard to walk by days end. I can't arrow down what I'm doing that's causing this horrible pain/stiffness in my left inner thigh area. It's crazy. It was at least a 9 on the pain scale. I've had 2 unmedicated births and this pain was worse!! So from 9pm last night until I fell asleep I layed in bed with the heating pad on high between my legs. I took my routine Tylenol PM. And slept my but off. Woke up feeling somewhat normal but after spending an hour in the car it's back! So I think just sitting is causing all the problems. So I think I'll experiment with either standing or laying down. No sitting! Thats going to be so hard. I mentioned to the doctor about but it sounds like there's nothing I can do but what I am doing already. Maybe a chiropractor could help? Pregnancy massage? I don't know. I don't see how I can do this for 10 more weeks

Oh no I am so sorry to hear you're in so much pain! If you're comfortable with it, I would try both a chiropractor and a massage therapist. I saw both for numbness and pain in my left hip and it has helped.

Oh I'm sorry, Amanda. That sucks!

Oh Amanda, I'm so sorry you're in so much pain. Some of the ladies on the November board are describing the same type of pain that you're talking about... I've never experienced it before. And I hate that it seems as though whenever we have these pains and problems, the OB has nothing at all to offer us!

When you mentioned it to your doc did they say what could be causing the pain? I wonder if some sort of adjustment might help.

Wonder if baby is pressing down on some sort of nerve? I am sorry that you're hurting so bad. My pain is located in my mid-back just below my shoulder blades. It is so hard to get relief. I can't sit for too long but I can't stand for too long either. It's very annoying. I know it's all worth it in the end but getting there is not going to be fun!

That sounds like the same pain my coworker had with her last pg. She had to be written out of work because it was so bad.

I agree with the other girls that a massage and some chiropractic adjustments might help. I hope you're feeling better soon, poor thing. It sucks to be in that much pain with 10 weeks to go.

Thanks everyone it's nice to know I'm not alone in this. I'm looking into seeing a chiro early next week I just hope I can survive the weekend.

Is it the baby's weight on your sciatic nerve? Every once in awhile I get a bad pain down the back of my right leg & I'm pretty sure it's sciatic pain.

Good luck. =(
