I have had problems with my lower back since age 14 ( i am now 33) - back then the doctor diagnosed a muscular sprain. Occasionally i have mild problems with pain, but occasionally i experience an episode so bad that i need prescription anti-inflammetries and ibuprofen which work very well . I have a toddler to look after but i can barely walk, and i cant really leave the house, too painful.
Unfortunately i cant take those now because i am pregnant. I have tried paracetemol, it didnt work.
I have 3 questions:
1) Has anyone suffered similar problems - i.e. severe back pain in pregnancy? What did your doctor prescribe if anything?
2) Can anyone recommend any non-medical treatment for my condition? Massages are a bit tricky because of the huge bump.
3) DO you think it will last my whole pregnancy or do such things usually go away bu themselves eventually (please say yes!!)
