this mama is miserable today... started my period yesterday (first one since having my daughter in october).... my lower back muscles are super tensed and my hips r killing me, and my muscles down around my whoha area are sore too.... it was so bad last night I had to take a Norco for the pain, which it did help me sleep but now I have the pain again.... idk what to do mamas, soaking in a tub isn't an option for me until later when my toddler takes a nap, I can't exactly just lay around on a heating pad all day with my toddler and 5 month old relying on me thru the day... do you think if I get up and am active again today it will help stretch everything out?? I can't be on meds all day (advil once in a while is ok) and to top it off I need to get up to our attic to start getting stuff down to put in a sale my husband is having due to money issues with his business and with us (he's only paying himself for 30 hours a week, and he owns the business)
