I'll start off by saying it's a standing joke in my family that I'm not a wimp with pain. I've 'just carried on' with broken arm/fractured skull etc and they (kindly) joke that I'd only see the doc if my head is hanging off.
So, anyway. I'm in my second trimester and experiencing pain. I'd like to ask for your opinions on what spd actually feels like, because people keep mentioning it to me but I'm not sure.
I have a long standing dodgy sacroiliac joint, which has become more painful on one side. I'm having pain in the actual hip sockets/hip bone on the outside when I sit only on one side and at night when I sleep. I've also got this funny pain just above the muff (tmi sorry) that I can only describe as if someone had stuck a nail through my bikini line in the centre and as I walk it scratches where I imagine the bottom of my bladder to be.
I can walk up stairs ok, and I'm not waddling, but I do experience pain turning over at night unless my knees are together. The pain persists even when I'm not moving.
Is this just something more to chalk down to pregnancy and get on with or is it spd starting up? If the latter I'd like to get some physio to prevent and worsening.
I'd be interested in hearing your experiences of spd, how it started and any excercise I can use to try to help.
