3rd Trimester

If you have had back pain...read this!

I have had a  horrible back pain and this is my third pregnancy. I have never experienced this before and my doc office kept telling me to use a heating pad and stretch it. Basically....suck it up! Well I didn't! I went to a physical therapist that told me I have a few vertebrae that are rubbing against my ribs and are not lines up correctly. ( your ribs expand to make room for the baby). They massaged my back which will work the vertebra's back into place. It can take a few visits. They also iced my back and said to stop with the heat, Heat is good for muscles but that isn't my problem so it was inflaming my back more! I already feel much better and I am so glad I don't' stop at.....your going to be uncomfortable your pregnant!!
