Another one on SPD

[Emmamoo89]

Still waiting on physio. Haven't gone back to work and feel so bad and guilty but I just don't think I'd cope as I'm on my feet all day and would prefer to see if physio helps before going back.

Just one question anyone with spd does it feel like you've got a elastic band going around your hips really tightly. That is the best way to describe it. Just want the physio to hurry up and feel like a nob for even twisting about it because I know some get it so much worse than this but say I've been out for couple hours later on in bed and next day when it the hardest for me.

I think I mainly wanted to rant and any messages will be appreciated 🙂

I had spd with my last pregnancy. In all honesty nothing will improve and it's only going to get worse.
How did the physiotherapist help? They gave me crutches to help me walk, they referred me to the local hydro pool ( this helped a little bit but will be back in pain a few hours later. They prescribed me some strong pain killers which can be addictive to both I and the baby so I only took them at bed time to help me sleep and then ill just struggle on during the day.
I dont know how far your pregnancy is but Get yourself a pregnancy belt to help ease the weight off your back.

My spd felt like my pelvic had spread too wide and my legs felt broken, almost like they were no longer attached to my hips, I couldn't walk for too long, and sleeping was painful.

Thoughts with you!! I had it, it's not nice at all. I slept with pillow between thighs and used a belt but it was still horrible!

I’m really struggling with it too, my first physio appt is this week but I’m not expecting much relief from it tbh.

mine feels like a pulling pain on either side of my lower back and whenever I walk, my tail bone feels like it’s going to fall off😩
