34 weeks and back and leg pain

I’ve woken up this morning with an aching back and pain down the side of both legs. Hard to say if it’s nerve or muscle as it feels quite sharp but is constant. Has anyone has this and any recommendations for things that help? I had a slipped disc over winter so get in a state of anxiety any time I get this type of pain!

Ask to be referred to maternity physio ASAP. I had this at your stage and they were able to help via manipulation

@Kdubs1981 thanks I’ve been told it’s a 2 week wait and that’s if you pass as an emergency referral. Did they give you exercises or was it mostly hands on manipulation/massage?

My pelvis had rotated on one side. They manipulated it back, but warned it could slip back due to slack ligaments (hormones). It worked for a couple of weeks and gave me great relief

That's a shame, you don't have long to go! But you could have another 8 weeks to go, so worth it. Hope you get through triage!
