SPD returning?

[SirBoobAlot]

Gave birth in November, was suffering with SPD for the last four months (ish). It seemed to go away almost instantly after I gave birth.

However, the last few days, I am in a lot of pain again. My whole pelvic area, my hips, my back and my legs are painful. Is it possible for SPD to come back after going away, and this long after giving birth? I had a straight forward delivery, no tears, and DS was 7lb9oz, in case that is related at all.

Any suggestions / advice / experiences?

TIA.

Sorry yes, it is possible. DS is 2.7 and I still have it to a degree. If I hoover/push shopping trolleys/carry anything too heavy it comes back. Fucking bastard useless ligaments. :(

Sorry, probably not what you wanted to hear, but best thing you can do is NOT do anything that would set it off. It can take 6mo+ for the ligaments to go back to normal, but in my case it took a lot longer.

please just go easy, don't do anything that would have set off SPD while pregnant.

Also, if you sprain anything take ibuprofen/diclofenac to minimise swelling, I found this helped a lot.

Bugger :( I knew it was possible for it to carry on but I thought as it went away I'd hit lucky. Bugger bugger bugger.

Is it worth ringing the physiotherapists again?

Sorry to hear you're both still suffering.

Have you started your period again yet? I know mine was awful just before my period started.

I'm on at the moment, but this isn't my first one - they came back at around four months. Hadn't thought of that connection though, thanks.
