Hi,
I went to my GP today telling her about my severe back pain and pelvic pain, and she was very sympathetic and asked me to call the physio clinic. I called them and after waiting for an hour for them to pick up, they did an assessment over the phone and suggested I should come in to be fitted with a support belt. I said I would like to be examined by a physiotherapist too, and he said he would request an appointment which will probably come in the next couple of weeks.
I am in a lot of pain and as I explained to him during the assessment I can't get on with normal day to day activities, which he shrugged off and said is quite common in pregnancy. Is this really that common that I am awoken at night with pain? More than 5-10 min of standing and I can't stand and it pains alot. Is this really that normal? What would you suggest I do? I asked if I could be referred to exercise classes but he said they don't have anything on the NHS, but I could do pilates privately.
Can anyone advise me as to what kind of treatment I should be expecting from the NHS? If you have/had SPD what were you offered?
Thanks! :)
