Sore bump & tendon pain

[Laura2t]

Hi all,
I'm 27 weeks and today I've been experiencing a sore bump at the bottom of my bump, especially when I stand up straight. I know it's just from my skin stretching, but has anyone got any advice on how to soothe it?
Also, I've been experiencing pain between my left hip and groin. The doctor says it's due to loosening tendons preparing for birth, but I've had it for a few weeks now and it's getting really annoying! Again, any advice?
I haven't tried paracetamol as I'm a bit dubious, but am I being too paranoid?

Thanks.

I have a sore bump too-have you tried a support belt thing? I got mine from mothercare and it helps take the weight off a bit (and might help the groin pain too!)
