I saw physio today, who was brilliant, was very helpful and did a very thorough assessment. I thought I had what sounded like SPD, as was having lots of bad pains in my back and pelvis. Well turns out SPD is unlikely, still possible but unlikely. I actually have one leg shorter than the other (by 2cms :shock: ) and one joint in my pelvis is stiff and restricted, which combined with pregnancy, loose ligaments and my scoliosis (curve in spine) is causing all my pain.

:pray: Now I know what to do, hopefully the pain will ease. She got me to stand with my right foot barefoot and my left (shorter leg) in trainer, and the pain eased :dance: it's likely that pain will continue, but hopefully not to the extent that i can't climb the stairs, that was excruciating :cry: now I have to get a couple of left insoles to make my left shoe higher than the right :lol:

:dance: I'm happy now! I like it when I have positive appointments! Next milestone is 20 week scan (which is at 22 weeks, bah!)

Really pleased you know what it is now!! :cheer:

Hope the pain eases soon :hug: xxx
 
Glad they were able to figure out what the problem was. You must feel better knowing now and being able to have ways to cope with it will help.

:hug:
 
That's good that you know what it is now, hopefully the insoles will help and give you a much needed break from the pain :hug:

Hi

I have one leg shorter then the other too by 2.5cm and a curviture of the spine and having to see a specialist tomorrow about my pregnancy - how strange is that! :hug: :hug: :hug:

I have built up insoles or have the heel built up on the outside on my right shoe, it does help loads. Where are you in the Midlands, I am in Oxford :hug:
