Help, not sleeping because of back pain :(

[Sunnytimes21]

Hi, apologies if this is on the wrong page. I'm 18 weeks pregnant so not sure if it's because of everything loosening up. I wake every night with bad pain on my spine, in between my shoulder blades. It feels very bruise like in the day but I can cope with that, it's in one small place. But at night it worsens and wakes me. It's been happening for 2 or 3 weeks now and last night got to the point where I was so tired of waking that I woke in pain for the umpteenth time and burst into tears. The doctor suggested a mattress or muscoskeletal issue when I did their online form, but it feels like more than that. I'm so tired, anyone have any experience of this?

Hello - sorry to hear you are suffering. I've had this from about 24 weeks. I bought a Tens machine and that really helps me. X

Thanks for the reply @ninadust. I've booked a chiropractor for tomorrow and will look to get a tens as I was wondering what pain relief apart from paracetamol I can use 😊

Hope it gets better for you @Sunnytimes21 ! I'm now 33 weeks and it's not as bad as it was before, so I hope it eases for you too!!
