Does anyone have suggestions for back pain? I’ve never been big on taking medicine but it’s getting ridiculous. It’s like a pinched nerve or something. Only thing is I have to be careful about what I take because I’m having a baby. So please any suggestions? I'm willing to try just about anything.

Pregnancy Massage.
Went every other week once I got big enough that my back noticed.
It was completely worth EVERY penny! Make sure you find a therapist that is qualified for maternuty massage and see the same one so they can get used to you and your issues.

Chris don't know if this might help, but some people I know, including my self try the cold pack, then heat pack iimediately after the cold. however being pregant I would ask my doctor first... or call a nurse hot line at SW.. It has helped relieve some sever back pain for me at times....

Riding the cowboy is what got her in this position in the first place, Dave.

A good chiropractor can work on pregnant women too...you might wanna go check on that. If it is a pinched nerve, they will "un-pinch" ya.

You may wish to consult a doctor regarding the possibility of spinal spondylosis. http://www.spine-health.com/conditio...actually-means

Christine, how far along are you? You can take tylenol and even tylenol 3 with codiene. I was even prescribed Vocodin for my tooth ache during the second trimester.. BUT, if you are in your third trimester, be careful about your "back pains". I went to the Dr. for "back pain" two weeks before my due date, and 4 hours later I was holding my brand new son in my arms.

i am no more than 3months (i think) go to the doc next month.
Yes iv been to the chiropractor. it helps but im soon back where i started & I don't do anything to cause it that i know of.
as for the tingling...there is none.
I don't have any family history that would mean a gentic problems.
