I'm 26 weeks pregnant and the part of my back that hurts the most is up between my shoulder blades. I obviously can't do normal exercises, I haven't been able to stretch it out, and I have no one here to massage it out for me. Would doing wall push-ups help? Any other suggestions?

If taking a bath would work, I wouldn't be asking.
Sleeping with a hot pad would only work if I could sleep on my back--pregnant here, people.
Wall push-ups are bad? Funny, they were recommended by a chiropractor for similar pain a few years ago.
It's not bad enough to need injections or surgery, it's just uncomfortable and irritating.
Thanks for a lot of useless answers.

Try a hot pad. I sleep with it on every night, and it has helped a lot!

My Doctor (GP) gave me some pressure point injections to relieve the tightness. Ask yours if this would work for you. It doesn't hurt.
