I really don't know what to do about middle back/sides pain I've been having for a few weeks. I feel like I've tried everything, changed bras to more comfortable ones, exercises to alleviate pain, sleeping with a pillow under my upper back and bump, paracetamol, getting up often walking and standing and it's just getting worse and worse.
I work an office based job, so am sat down most of the day, and I think I am basically straining while sitting and that's causing the pain.
My midwife was a bit stumped as it's normally the lower back where pain is more typical. She did say I could try and get a physio referral but it's a long wait list.
I'm so stressed about it, I can't sleep very well, it's hard being in some sort of pain even when sitting on the sofa with lots of cushions, sometimes I just cannot sit in a way that relieves it. Basically just feel at my wits end as I feel like there's nothing else I can do.
I'm 31 weeks and not due to go on my mat leave until 37 weeks, I don't think I can manage more of this.
I'm worried about being signed off work as it is a peak period for us, and if doctor doesn't think it is pregnancy related because of it being my mid-upper back and sides.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas for what I can else I can do? Sorry if this post comes across as a load of desperate rabble, I've had about 3 hours sleep and feeling very stressed.
