I'm due tomorrow and have stupidly managed to pull a muscle in my upper back!! Sort of around my left shoulder blade, and a bit to the left. It's not that bad but it really hurts to pull myself up or down. I must have done it in bed turning over or something.

Since I can't take ibuprofen, any thoughts on what I can do to improve it? Is it worth me trying to see someone next week?

Better not go into labour now!

I took paracetamol when I was pregnant as I had PGP / SPD. I'm pretty certain this is completly safe but you could always check with NHS 24?

Can you make an appointment anyway, and just not go if you go into labour?

I was given cocodamol when I was pregnant, obviously check first as I don't know your personal situation, but my Dr said it's fine after first trimester
