Horrible Back Pain Posted: 07-27-06 07:00am
I've been having lower back pain off and
on each day for the last trimester or so.
No biggie... Heating pad works wonders
for it. But yesterday evening I started
to get a dull ache between my shoulder
blades that seemed to radiate upwards
towards my neck and down into the middle
of my back. I woke up around 4 this
morning unable to sleep because I was so
uncomfortable. Sleeping on my side is
impossible, because it feels like the
weight of my body is crushing whatever
shoulder i'm putting pressure on.
Swapping sides does the same thing. I
tried sleeping on my back, but that did
absolutely nothing for the pain. My
trusty heating pad is only succeeding in
making me sweat, and a hot bath did zilch.
My husband's off to work until 4 this
afternoon, so I can't sweet-talk him into
a massage (though I strongly considered
waking him up this morning for one).
Augh, what do I do? My upper back and
neck are aching so badly now, and I really
don't want to take pain medication. I'm
so miserable... :(
