Aches and pains

[solgirl]

I have been having a few aches and pains all over but mostly in my back for a few months now - which is not helped by carting around a hefty 7 month old!!! Usually they would only last a few days but I have had pain in my right hip and down my thigh for well over a week and it doesn't seem to be going... any ideas? Is it OK to visit a chiropractor whilst being this pregnanct? any ideas appreciated

Check with you M/W or Doctor first see what they say, Yes you can see a Chiropactor while pregant as i am currently seeing one for shoulder pain/possblie trapped nerve, be warned they do give you a full body going over and may make you feel worse before you get better - if you need help finding one just let me know

Have been having something similar Solgirl, aching down my left hip and down the left thigh. I think it's because of the new sleeping postition (on the left as reccomended) I'm forcing myself to get used to. I've got the dream genii pillow that really helped at first but now it's becoming painful the heavier bubs gets I think. I really have to stop myself sleeping on my back. I think I'm going to speak to the midwife if it gets any worse because it doesn't really go away all day either and it's really gnawing away at me today. Not sure if it's muscular or joint related. Going to try a warm bath tonight to see if that does anything. Good luck!

I've had to have weekly Physio visit since i was 18weeks gone due to my back giving up on my, it is totally twisted and in knots.
