Help! Crazy sacro-iliac joint pain

[HoneyWheeler]

Hi all, wondering if you can help. I'm 24 weeks and over the last couple of days I've developed terrible lower back pain on my right side. I don't want to take too many drugs but resorted to paracetamol which hasn't touched it!

A couple of hours of extremely scientific googling has me thinking it is my sacro-iliac joint playing up. Has anyone suffered with this and managed to keep it at bay? Would be so grateful for any tips.

Thanks!

This rings a bell with me. I had sciatica and hip pain when pregnant and it was awful. Swimming and Pilates helped. YouTube the clam exercise- that helped strengthen my glutes. I absolutely had to take painkillers- it was excruciating. Hope it eases soon xx

Yep, I have it too. Deep tissue massage, or trip to osteopath, then swimming, yoga, and being careful not to hurt it further.

Thanks all - good suggestions! Now that you mention it, my sister uses a massage ball too, so might see if I can pick one up!
