Muscular/ligament pain/tenderness.

[Mervs Mum]

I started a couple of weeks ago with some tenderness which is now a constant dull ache in my side - right where you get a 'stitch' from running sometimes.

The problem is most probably the 23lb plus weight I have to lift several times a day....

I am just going to take a nice warm bath but does anyone know of any other safe methods of soothing this pain? I dont do pain killers. It's there all the time and Sid seems to like to kick me there too and ouch it's sharp!

Would your OH gently rub the area using some massage oils? Could release any trapped nerves or muscles. Other than that i would just relax in the bath as often as possible and try and rest when you can (i know its hard with a LO to look after) xx

Have you talked to the Mw about this hun? I'm wondering whether she could suggest something?

I'd say Sid has got himself into a tricky position and you're bruised internally Try getting on all fours and tilting forward to see can you shift the little man so you can al least get kicked somewhere else

 

[Mervs Mum]

The bath really helped....I had a good wallow like the hippo I resemble and then I massaged Bio Oil in. That lasted all of 15 mins!! I feel a right lazy bitch sat on my arse but OH is quite happy to let me...

 

[Mamafy]

Enjoy it while it lasts believe you me when #3 arrives you'll be glad of 5 minutes to put your feet up

 

[Mervs Mum]

is it safe to put a hot water bottle on it? It's really bloody sore

 

[Mervs Mum]

I rang the Birth Centre to ask about putting a hot water bottle on it. They want me to go down and let them have a look at me....the MW was saying it's best to rule out a UTI......gonna get dressed and nip down.

 

[Mamafy]

I'm glad, best to be safe

 

[Toonlass]

You back yet hun? Hope everything is ok xx

 

[Mervs Mum]

Just back now. They seemed happy it was nothing to worry about but theyre testing for a UTI which seems most likely. It's really sore now

 

[Toonlass]

Pheewww, glad your ok. Try and get rested chicken xx

 

[Rosie's Mummy]

Glad its not a UTI

 

[Mervs Mum]

Thanks hun. What a bummer eh. Results should be back by weds and if it is a UTI they will start me on antibiotics.

 

[Mamafy]

Rest up hun and quit saying you're a lazy bitch that's my job (to call you one that is)

 

[Katy_89]

Hope it's not a UTI and the pain goes away soon xx

Hope your feeling better soon

 

[Mervs Mum]

Well I rang the hospital this morning hoping that the test results might be back but no luck The MW I spoke to was lovely. She told me to come down and see her and she'd test my wee again and have another look at me. So off we went and to cut a long story short, I have some anitbiotics and codeine painkillers which have knocked me for 6. Sat here just about able to keep my eyes open but I'm not in pain! The Dr who saw me said she thinks the things they are getting in my urine are red herrings and that it's ligament pain and head fitting pains as he is head down. I have to rest but not keep moving!! It will take a while but I can just take the painkillers and hope for the best.....

 

[Mamafy]

Glad you went back

 

[Mervs Mum]

See I do listen to you.....
