Ow! My pelvis!! Think I've twanged something...

[LordyLady]

Ooo I just rolled onto the sofa and spread my legs a little too wide...now my pelvis is really really sore at the front right above my fanjo and I can only hobble about! Sh*t, I haven't knackered myself have I? Sounds scarily like SPD symptoms, any one got any advice? I'm 30 weeks today and so far have got away with no serious aches or pains :(

i've not got SPD but i have a condition where i need to look out for it... and yes... that does sound awfully like you've done something to the pubic symphysis!! i really hope i'm wrong...

my physio has said to look out for a pain high up between the legs (so basically fanjo area) because that's how it presents usually.

pillow between knees when you sleep, don't twist your spine when you roll over.

and ring the GP/physio as soon as you can.

I'm 34 weeks and have had spd since about 16 weeks.. Defo one of the symptoms I have sometimes I bend forward to do something and it clicks and I can't move it's agony ! I've had to wait 6 weeks for a physio appointment too.. I'd get the midwife to refer you ASAP.. My doctor prescribed me paracetamol and codeine which is pretty good

Thanks ladies, I went to the maternity triage yesterday and luckily I've just pulled a muscle in my groin rather than anything more serious. You poor things, it sounds really unpleasant and awful that you are in so much pain when you should be enjoying this 'special time' with all the delights that it brings :)

Newtothisstuff I got prescribed paracetamol and codiene too - spent the afternoon on the sofa in a blissful pain-free haze...thank god for those opiates!

Hope you both feel better today. Enjoy your weekend, eat lots of chocolate! [busmile]
