At the end of last year I woke one day with excruciating lower back pain. I was off work for several weeks & diagnosed as having completely twisted my left Sacroiliac joint. Saw a Physio, given exercises to do, pain went, I was back to 90% normality, still struggled a little bit but got my life back.
Yesterday I woke up & my back had gone. I was in agony. The pain is whenever I move, or sit. It's so much worse this time as I am really, really struggling to walk. Last time, once I had managed to get up & push through the pain, walking was as normal. Currently my DH is having to help me up off the sofa, hold my arm as I walk, lower me on to the loo (poor sod honestly) etc. I saw a Physio today who said he thinks it's the same issue as before but clearly worse this time. He's given me exercises to do & will review in a week. He says my core is totally lax & I need to try & build this up with the exercises.
I went to bed at 6pm because what else is there to do, I literally cannot do anything & lying on my side is the only time it doesn't hurt. I'm not sure I can wait a week to see the Physio again, although I appreciate I need a few days for these exercises to hopefully allow me to walk pain free & like I've not shit myself again.
Has anyone experienced anything like this before? I'm also worried about this affecting the baby & as I have an anterior placenta I don't feel movements hardly at all anyway for reassurance. Thanks for reading my pity post :-(
