Back Pain - HELP !

[del1]

I have had back pain for about three months now, but even when I can't stand up, I have somehow managed to get on with it, and do gentle exercise. I have been going to physio also, which had seemed to help.
However - Saturday morning I tried to lift up my one year old, and it has totaly gone. I have been stuck in bed ever since. I can crawl of the bed and lean over a bucket to wee, and crawl back into bed.
Can't get to the bath, and can just about crawl, to try and stretch. Can't get hold of physio or midwife. NHS say try to exercise ( yeah I know that)And take paracetamol (which are as useful as smarties).
Any ideas, as I can't stay in bed for much longer, going mad up here !!!

bless you, my pain isnt that bad but its a struggle i have to say. I had to carry my 19month old DD over half a mile the other day as she refused to walk and it was getting dark and i couldnt leave her sitting in the snow. I couldnt move the rest of the evening. Try a hot compress on your back, and dont lift your DC if you can help it!!

Go and see a chiropractor - was the only thing that helped my back as I could barely move. It's about £25 a session though and you need to see them once a week for a month at first. Have you seen the GP not just the midwife (sorry if a silly question)?
