Upper back pain when sleeping in third trimester

I'm 34 weeks and having pretty debilitating upper back pain when I lie on my side to sleep. Sadly paracetamol isn't really touching the sides and it's stopping me from sleeping for longer than an hour at a time. I've got a great pregnancy pillow and tried having a hot water bottle on my back at night. Any other ideas? Thank you! X

I'm propped up with a few cushions and lying on my back. It's absolute bliss but I'm snoring like an elephant 😬

I injured my back when pregnant and has pain in a similar place, the physio got me rolling a tennis ball between my back and the wall, which helped a bit. Then after baby was born my back was better instantly!!

Hiya, wondering if you found anything that helped I’ve got the same issue 35 weeks pregnant! Dr prescribed cocodamol cause I can’t even sleep but I’m reluctant to take it!!
