You poor thing
You must be in real pain - I have had this now and again and it bloody hurts, does taking paracetomal help at all? even just to take the edge off a little

Ive had it for the past 3 weeks and its making me feel so rubbish, the doctor gave me co-codamol which are a bit stronger than paracetamol and they help a little but not alot but i dont like taking too many of them. Just hope it goes once baby is born coz some ppl carry on having it after. I think the crutches just topped it off i feel like such an invalid now lol

I'm sure it will go after baby's born, it has to be pregnancy related, it is obviously pressing on a nerve.
Funnily enough, I had this over a year ago, well before I was pregnant and the pain went right down as far as my foot !!! I had to go and have some physiotherapy and was given exercises to help.

Meh. That's not good

You've probably tried this (and by the sounds of it you're in a lot more pain than I have been) but along with loads of strategically-placed pillows in bed (ordinary ones, a body support one and a wedge!) what helps me is to lay a wheat wrap (microwaveable heat pad thingy) on the side that's hurting the most. It takes the edge off a bit.

Hope the next few weeks don't prove too miserable for you, nikkix.
