dd3 is 10 months old. This was the first pregnancy to get SPD/PGP and I was on crutches/pretty immobile by the end.
I had a ELCS and managed to walk out of hospital on day three with minimal support from my crutches. I've had NHS physio and by about 10 weeks I could walk 2 miles (slightly more than the school run) but I've not increased this without suffering for a week( v limited movement)
In the past couple of weeks I've gone backward big time. I am in pain by the end of my street , I can't carry anything upstairs as I need my hands to support me. I'm waking in the night in pain, legs are collapsing when I walk.
I have an orthopaedic appt in September, I'm waiting to see what they say but if they don't/can't/won't do anything we are going to plunder the savings and go back to the osteopath/private Physio.
My biggest concern now is I'm back at work this week. I'm going to have to avoid certain tasks which isn't going to look good ( new boss etc).
I'm also worried I'll need to get dd3/pram in & out of the house on my own for the school run. I've had dd1/dh to help the last few weeks.
What else can I do?
