I have a prolapsed lumbar disc which only flares up in pregnancy. 23 weeks with DC2 and the last 4 days have been torture. I spoke to the GP on Friday and she advised switching to co- codamol (8/500) from paracetamol.
It works but I feel guilty for taking it. I keep letting it wear off thinking I'll be fine and then bursting into tears with the pain. I can't move without it. I can't walk. I can't sneeze. I can't cough. (Got a cold at the mo too).
I'm going to phone for an emergency GP appt tomorrow morning. I see my midwife next Mon and the physio next Thurs.
