So i’m 29 weeks pregnant and my leg hurts so bad that I can hardly walk! Then when I do walk I get this horrible cramp right under my butt cheek and a contraction right along with that. I have an 18 month old and it’s not easy to just prop my leg up all day and relax, it’s actually impossible. Tylonal and heating pads are not doing anything and the drs don’t act too concerned. Any advice?

I had spinal fusion 10 years ago. My whole spine is fused with 2 rods, to correct a very severe curvature.

Ever since the surgery, i’ll occasionally get a pain it my right shoulder blade (on my back). It feels like getting stabbed with a burning hot knife. It is AWFUL.

I know what you’ll all say "go to the doctor," but unfortunately I’ve gone to my surgeon, and a couple of GP’s already. They all tell me "it’s nerve damage", and i should take tylenol or ibuprfen (i’m allergic to narcotic pain meds).

Does anyone else have "nerve damage" pain? If you do, does anything help you out?

I’ve tried OTC pain meds, muscle relaxers, heating pads, and back muscle stretches.

Thanks!
I live in Illinois.

I can’t take a drug called "Lyrica," because i have a history of kidney problems.

after both surgerys on my lower backi have had my right leg go to siatc nerves down i have had Phiscal therapy steroid shots i have used heating pads, biofreez,medications
and sleep with my legs propted up. i still have so much pain. can the hardware be removed and feel better

Have any of you had a pinched nerve in your back because you were/are pregnant? I am 5 months pregnant and in so much pain sometimes I can’t even walk. Does this go away while you are still pregnant or does it go away after you have the baby. If this keeps up can the doctor put me on bed rest or something? It is extremely hard to sit here at my desk and work when I am in so much pain. Also, I haven’t and don’t want to take any sort of medicine while pregnant or use heating pads so any home remedies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
P.S. I have already gone to the doctor and she said it would have to run its course.

Im 32 weeks prego with my 2nd baby. With my first I had terrible back labor, starting around 29 weeks. With drugs we were able to hold it off untill 39 weeks. Right now I am having some discomfort in my lower back, it isnt as intense as my first ones back labor, but it is more than a normal sore back… I havent been having any noticeable contractions, but I cant help but feel that this pain is something I shouldnt look away from. I called my doc, and he said not to worry, nothing is happening. It just doesnt seem right. Have any of you gone into any kind of labor without noticing the first contractions, and having this same odd dull back pain? If you think it is nothing to worry about what can I do other than Tylenol to help the pain, I was told heating pads are something that shouldnt be used right now… Is that true? Lying in any positon fails to help the pain. Anything and everything will be a big help.
Hubby cant massage my back, he has MS so he is to weak to massage. (he’s so weak I was suprised we were able to make this baby!) Oh well… any other suggestions?
