I am 26 weeks pregnant and have a very painful bulging disc between my L5 and S1 vertebrae. Heat, rest, and tylenol are not helping. Anyone know of any other options that could get rid of my pain? We are moving out-of-state in 4 days and I have a lot to do and need to get rid of this pain. Yes, I have been to a chiropractor, but all he does is put heat on it and adjusting is painful.

I am 32 weeks pregnant and have been suffering from Sciatica for a few weeks. I am also a full time college student and I am a server. Some days it’s so bad I hobble around, and Tylenol does nothing. Did any of you have Sciatica so bad you had to stop working? Or do you have any tips on easing the pain? The two days have been so bad I can’t get relief.

Tylenol and other over-the-counter medicines don’t work. Are there any more remedies for back pain? thanks

I am 24 Weeks preg. and having bad lower back pain on my R side, and the Doc says the baby may be on my Sciatic Nerve…and there is nothing he can really do except tell me to take Tylenol and use a heating pad and drink lots of water, possibly physical therapy…This all does not! sound great to me…I want to know if there is a chance the baby will move? I work with MRDD adults and I am on my feet a lot…it is miserable.

i had it today and i cant straighten my back, is it normal, i just took tylenol (doc said i could)

I been having constant pain in my lower back on the right side. What can be some causes? I am afraid to take tylenol in case it is my kidneys.
It’s been bothering me for a few days now.

I’ve tried stretching, walking it out an tylenol but nothing works, it also swells around my upper leg, thigh area. I’ve also been to the doctor and all they told me was that it wasn’t a blood clot pff! Any help with do thnks in advance!!

Recently, maybe the past few months, my entire lower back has hurt non stop. Is there anything I can do to releave my pain besides advil, tylenol……… It hurts!!!!!

So this lady hit me as i was turning. It wasnt a huge accident at all. she rear ended me and took off some paint and left a dent on the bumper. It is still in place. At the time i did not feel that i was injured. I felt good and went on with my day at work afterwards. After a couple of hours i felt a headache that steadily kept increasing in pain. When i got home from work my headache was pretty painful. I took Tylenol and took a shower. woke up today with my back sore and stiff. I thought itd be from work but ive been doing what i do for well over a year and a half now so i doubt it was work. And i’ve never felt pain like this. Its nothing to impede my ability to walk or work, but it is discomforting and makes it hard to sleep. Now i have contacted the other person’s insurance company and my Insurance company. They are in the proccess of investigating. Every that i talk to about this says that i should seek a lawyer in assistance to recieve compensation for the accident. My question is, Do i automatically receive a compensation for this accident. also, Do i need a lawyer to recieve any compensation? This isnt one of those "Oooh OMG Lawsuit!! Yay!!" things, its just that everyone tells me that I am entitled to some sort of settlement. Please, somebody explain. Thank You! OOh btw, I went to the doctor earlier today due to the pain, i was prescribed muscle relaxers and pain medication for spasms.
let me clarify the question.
Do i need a lawyer in order to recieve compensation? Can i still be compensated witout a lawyer?

I’m 36 1/2 weeks with my first baby and the back pain is unbearable! I have tried everything my doctor has suggested and nothing helps… We bought a yoga ball, my husband gives me massages every night, I’ve tried walking (which ironically only makes it worse), heating pad on my back, ice pack on my back, warm baths…. The only thing I can take for pain is Tylenol and it never helps so I’ve stopped taking it… And with the incessant heartburn, I have to try and lay in a semi-upright position so that never helps either. I’m still trying to work 40 hours a week (desk job) to save money for my maternity leave and it’s getting really hard b/c of the pain. I’m only working 3 or 4 days a week anymore. I can’t even do anything after work and we still need to finish the nursery…

This is awful!!! Does any one have any more suggestions that I haven’t tried yet? I feel like I’m dying here…
Well, yeah, obviously it’s because of late pregnancy… wow…

…and I am "taking it easy"… I just said I don’t do anything after work and during the day I sit at a desk… how much easier could I take it???

All I wanted to know is if anyone had any PAIN RELIEF suggestions…

As far as the pregnancy belt answer, thanks! You’re the only one who caught what I was throwing…

I have a pinched nerve in the back of my neck that is causing my left shoulder and arm to hurt. I did therapy for a few weeks but it didn’t help. I have been dealing with the pain for almost 5 months now. I take Tylenol but it doesn’t always work. I can’t take aspirin or Advil because of the ulcer I had four years ago. I just want some answers.

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.

My hip hurts so bad and pain into my leg, where it feels as though my leg is going to give out while I walk. I imagine it’s that wonderful sciatic nerve! Anyway, I’m calling the DR tomorrow, but want to know if anyone has had any luck relieving some or all of the pain at home. I want the pain to stop now! I am pregnant so meds are out of the question, except Tylenol, which is useless.

I’ve been having serious back pain lately, and it is excruciating. It is worse in my lower back area, but it still hurts everywhere. I sleep with a heating pad every night but it still doesn’t ease the pain when I wake up. It helps only for about twenty minutes, and then the pain comes again. Any tips?

PS- Other than tylenol though. I can’t take it with some of my other meds because it interacts with them.

My OBGYN gave me a prescription for Tylenol with Codine and it didn’t help at all, it just made me sleepy. I have been going to the Chiropractor and it feels good to lay on the roller table and get a massage, but as soon as I walk out the door I am having the same problem. I can not put any pressure on my right leg, it just gives out and I have fallen a few times because of it. The pain is in the back of my hip (right above my butt). What else can I do about this? Will I still have this problem after the baby comes? any advice is welcome! thanks!
