Sorry for awful thread title. I’m 27 weeks tomorrow and for the last month have had awful trouble with my back. Initially my lower back kind of gave way, a problem I’ve suffered on and off with the last two years, due to a very stiff back and hips which don’t quite align correctly. Referral to physio was very quick and I was given some gentle exercises to do, and a tube bandage to wear, though I haven’t been able to bear it for long as it feels so restrictive on my stomach. But despite the initial problem being much better within a week, since then my hips have been badly suffering, I’ve had pain in both hips, and when I get up in the night I can’t bear weight on whichever side I’ve been lying on, so have to kind of limp to the loo. Today I’ve suddenly become much worse. Not a particularly busy day, after we’d stopped for lunch I suddenly couldn’t move my right hip without significant pain. I can’t seem to move my leg forward if that makes sense, I can stretch it backwards no problem but actually walking and having to move my leg is agony. I can’t raise my leg when sitting and I needed help getting into bed. I’m finally lying down with a hot water bottle on my hip, and have covered it in ibuprofen gel. I’m dreading having to try to get out of bed when I need to. But I’m worried this isn’t normal. Luckily we have some crutches I can use but is this worth a trip to the walk in centre tomorrow? I can self refer back to physio but I doubt I’d be seen as quickly as before. Baby has been confirmed as sitting very low down and I wonder if she’s simply sitting on a nerve?
