Back Woes

Daisalana · September 18, 2008

I guess this is more of a vent than anything..I've googled myself to death on it, and I get all kinds of answers.

Saturday evening I was cleaning and my lower back started to hurt a little.

It got to be pretty bad, so I figured I pulled something..went to sleep early, thinking it would be better in the morning.

Dead wrong, lost all range of motion, can't bend to save my life.. it's my butt and my tailbone though, not normal lumbar pain.

Monday first thing in the morning I went to my chiro. Getting in and out of my car is enough to make me scream it is so painful!

Chiro did an adjustment, told me to ice it and lay down all day. Done.

Tuesday morning, no change. Went back to him in tears, and he sent me to my GP.

They all think I twisted a muscle, since I didn't fall.. but I swear it feels like I broke my butt bone.

He wanted to do an injection, anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxer, and pain meds.. they both wanted to do an xray but due to being pregnant, they can't.

GP calledmy obgyn to see how she felt comfortable with me being treated.

She said no injection, no anti-inflammatories.. so they gave me muscle relaxers and pain killers she approved of. I'm on bed rest all week.

I started the meds yesterday around noon, and today at 9pm..still no change.

I am so miserable, it's making me depressed..

I don't think it's related to the pregnancy, and I really hope it's not. I am not even showing yet and can't move.. If it were related, it's going to be a long 7 months.

I can't find any relief in any position.. I am sick of laying in bed all day.

Only pregnancy related things I have read is about your muscles loosening up.. I feel the opposite....

I realize how much I take being able to move like a normal person for granted. I am dying to finish cleaning my house, I can't sit on a toilet, putting my pants on is a big ordeal.. :crying: :mellow:
