I have a 5 month DS and since I was 6 months pregnant I've had a really bad back. It's my upper back/shoulders/neck. It doesn't feel like one sprained muscle but more an all over very tight almost tingly feeling like the whole area is incredibly tense
I try and do good lifting but I just feel like everything I do with my DS aggravates it - lifting him in and out of cot, sorting him in car seat, feeding him, jiggling him when he's unsettled or won't sleep etc., even just holding him when he snoozes off on me on the sofa. I'm struggling to get comfy in bed and sleep properly.
GP has referred me to physio but apparently there is a back log so might be a wait. I've tried some stretches and ibuprofen but not much difference. Any tips on any exercises or anything to help until I get physio? And anything that might help me get more comfy at night?
