Really just wondering if anyone has any advice or has experienced anything similar. I have been having lower back ache for about 4 weeks. Initially it was when I had done too much bending/walking etc. It now seems to be pretty much all the time. Walking is really painful - the pain is one side really low into my bum when I lift up my leg. Stairs and turning over in bed are also pretty painful. I prop myself up with lots of pillows in bed but if I roll onto my back when asleep this makes it ten times worse.
I mentioned it the the MW who was not interested 'urine clear so no UTI theefore I dont really care!'
She told me to see the GP if the pain was bad which I did but not much help either. He said pregant women get back ache solution is to rest and maybe try swimming! Resting is fine but I am still working finish next week.
I just feel so helpless it really hurts! Should I go back to GP and push for physio referral? I am sure he would sign me off work but dont particularly want this as its my last few days of work I dont want to leave on a sicknote.
Thanks in advance.
