Any one got a cure for severe back ache?!

[Gem1355]

Hi i'm 22 weeks pregnant with my first child and this week i've had really terrible back ache, and the ache is moving to my hip as well any ideas on how to get rid of it?

I have this too.....my hip keeps giving way

It's worse when i'm at work as i sit in front of a computer all day? What do you do to help it?

It only came on last weekend.....i am 27 weeks pregnant. A bath helps a bit

I think its important to have a really good chair for computer - even its only Mumsnet (like me)!

and your work are obliged to do this esp if you are preg

I'm having at least 2 baths a day to try and relax those muscles, it's okay in the first instance you get out of the bath but comes back after half hour or so!
should i try something else?

i haven't had my work station assessment yet!
and they knew i was pregnant at 12 weeks!

I got one of those kneely chairs for work (they bought it) and it worked a treat.
I also got a referral from the dr for accupuncture you can have 6 sessions on nhs and that was good too.

Will i have to see the dr or will my midwife be able to adv something? who would the best person be to see about it

Work needed a dr's referral to make the changes to my workstation (ie. buy a new chair) and I think a dr has to refer to accupuncture.
Probably worth making an appointment.

Thanx will do!
