Anyone have back issues before gettin pregnant? I have a slipped vertebrae in my lumbar spine and a…

You can try to visit a chiropractor, since they’ll see women who are pregnant! I don’t know anything about slipped discs but surely a chiropractor can do something to ease your discomfort? Correct me if I’m wrong!

I have back issues also, my lower back is all out of alignment due to me injuring it when I was younger from over-extending. I’ve definitely had worse pain now due to pregnancy.

ETA: I see now you said slipped vertebrae and herniated discs. Got it mixed up.

I hope you find a solution! I’m sure it must suck.

I've had lower back issues for years. Strangely enough, it just comes around every few months and the rest of the time I'm generally okay, though for those few days I'm in immense pain and walking around like an elderly woman. Can't even stand up straight.

@leahdeere, yeah chiropractors won’t adjust me due to the vertebrae.

@jessjanet32, yep it hurts so bad to walk and do just about anything right now.

@leahdeere, I hope so because trying to work today hasn’t been the easiest of accomplishments.

@gypsymomma, Oh :( I’m sorry. That really sucks! I hope it gets better from here on out and not worse for you.

@leahdeere, got a message back from my docs office finally and they said try a belly band and take Tylenol. Seriously that’s not the answer to this problem. I have a band and it’s more uncomfortable than helpful.

@gypsymomma, Ugh, honestly! Sometimes the doctor’s office gives the least helpful advice. Pregnancy is tough because there’s such a limitation to methods you can take for medical issues

Just rest as much as you can, which I’m sure you are. x

@leahdeere, yes yes I am. Even at work. If I have to I will find a doctor that is willing to listen and work with me.

@gypsymomma, Wishing you the best of luck!

@gypsymomma I feel for you. I was going through that a couple of weeks ago.
