Horrible back pain anyone?

Question

My back started to hurt at 12w and now I'm 14w2d and it's excruciating at times. It hurts on one side only, to the left of my tailbone, and it sends jolts of pain whenever I bend forward from the hips, lay on my back, or move my left leg (including walking). My uncle (who's a doc) said it sounds like SI joint pain.

Anyone else had this? Did anything help? I may try swimming or yoga or physical therapy.

Answer

I have exactly the same back pain. It's not fun at all! I started seeing a Prenatal Chiropractor about 2 weeks ago, I'm 21w 5d, and it's helped quite a bit. I've booked a prenatal massage this week as well and have been doing yoga/stretching. At this point, I'll try anything! A heating pad at night has helped a bit too. I'm sorry you're in pain :(

Answer

This sounds like exactly what's happening to me. I'm 13 weeks today and want to cry thinking that this may not go away anytime soon. I keep trying stretches and yoga and a heating pad with no luck so far :( 
I see my doctor next week so I will ask more about it then. Hopefully someone else has a suggestion!

Answer

I have the exact same pain just on one side and I actually invested in a maternity belt that lifts the weight of your stomach and provides back support. I am also seeing a chiropractor and both of those have been  life savers.

Answer

I had a pre-existing lower back injury so yes, I feel your pain. Literally, lol. I've found that laying/sitting on a damp wash cloth on a heating pad helps on really bad days. I learned some stretches when I first hurt my back and I'm sure to do these before bed each night. Also, look into those pregnancy pillows, ridiculous names but they really help.
