| Pregnancy and lower back pain - I need a remedy! aching back - I need a home remedy... |
|
Question:
Any helpful remedies? My lower back is killing me constantly now (since
I started carrying dramatically lower in the last week or so...
Answer:
My remedy recommendation is swimming, swimming, swimming! I found that swimming managed to work the
muscle groups that needed to be limber and helped take off the pressures
that the baby would do to my lower back, abdomen, upper back (due to the
additional boob weight!), etc. Granted, maternity swimsuits are expensive,
but you might even be able to find one at a consignment shop or other
second-hand retailer.
Sometimes I take Tylenol (doesn't do much). Heating pads
are still ok. (but only seem to last 15 minutes or so after you get off of
it). I also use Mineral Ice, which helps temporarily. And the prenatal
massages work wonders.
