Have you taken any painkillers?
Can you find a preg massage person?

You poor thing, it's bad enough when not pg.
There is a great book called "treat your own Back" if you can get hold of a copy anywhere - exercises to help get the back out of spasm. I will look for a reference, perhaps your DP could get it on a fast delivery?

Piffle - how are you doing now?

Piffle · 22/01/2007 10:46

Hi!
Much better, we got a new bed this weekend and it has made massive difference.
On Friday osteo told me to have hot bath, then alternate hot and cold packs for half an hour 5 mins each
that helped the spasms along with paracetamol
Now it's ok.
I think I did too much
