Ugh....! On Tuesday night when I was serving dinner my back and pelvis froze. Since Tuesday my back and just above my pelvis bone, under my belly, has been progressively getting more painful. A call to the midwife and a trip to the chiropractor confirmed it is SPD(symphysis pubis dysfunction), pelvic bone pain. My pelvis has relaxed too much and as a result put too much stress on the ligaments. As a result I am confined to my bed and couch. I feel no discomfort while sitting or lying down so that is how I remain.
I am just beyond frustrated that I am confined to home, I have so much more nesting to do and was looking forward to completing some projects. My frustration has come out as anger to my poor DH. I wish my shouting and crying would not cause him to shut down.
Today my sister took me for a delightful pedicure- it was nice to sit in the message chair for an hour. Maybe I could go for a pedicure daily!!
I forgot to mention a friend dropped flowers off for me today which will help brighten the home.
Eek! I had SPD too, but it is not necessarily a recipe for bedrest. Definitely check out this link: http://www.plus-size-pregnancy.org/pubicpain.htm
ReplyDeleteThen, try to find a chiropractor in your area that is specialised in the Webster technique - I'm DEFINITELY going to one for my next pregnancy. These resources should help you find one:
International Chiropractic Pediatric Association: http://www.icpa4kids.org/locator/index.php
Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics website: http://www.icapediatrics.com/members-referral.php
Thanks I will check it out I was thinking of checking out an osteopath as well. Some of this is my fault- I pushed through the pain and caused a lot of inflammation which is why I have to rest until I get it under manageable levels again.
