Am currently 19 weeks pregnant and i have a chronic back condition. I also suffer with SPD and some days i can hardly walk. I have physio twice a week and hydro twice a week and am taking co-codamol for pain relief. I am due to go for a MRI scan on the 10th September as they theink there is a possibility that i have reslipped a disc that i had replaced in my back 9 years ago. Obviously if i have, they can't do anything about it really until the baby is born.
Anyway, the other day i rang for a repeat perscription of the co-codamol, and yesterday my doctor rang me back. She said that she was reluctant toprescribe me any more as there is a chance that the baby ould be born addicted to the codiene. Now when she first prescribed them for me, she assured me that they were safe for me and baby.
She's advised me to take paracetamol - but they don;t touch the pain at all, to be honest, the co codamol don;t really do much either but they make it a bit more bearable so i can sleep, ect.
I can't imagine the next 20 or so weeks in pain like this - it's utter agony, but i don't know what else i can do.
