For weeks there's been a severe shooting pain going up the right hand side of my spine. Every time I am sat in my desk at work it doesn't matter what position, I find this shooting pain sears up my back like a sharp knife. I've spent ten minutes at a time locked in the work toilet on my hands and knees rocking to try to dispel the pain and gone back to my desk feeling broken. My hips are aching every day and walking is becoming so hard now.
Finally after consistently ending up in tears at work, I've referred to a physiotherapist, they've said my pelvis has softened or some such, common in pregnancy and that I need to finish work earlier than I planned as best they can do is recommend bed rest and if I have to walk about to use crutches to help even out the pressure.
I wanted to work nearly until my due date so I am not happy, and I've gone in such a rush I hardly got to say a proper goodbye to everyone.
The crutches don't help, every passing day the pain in my back gets worse and if I stand for more than twenty minutes my hip feels as if it's going to dislocate from the joint. I would do anything to rid my body of this back pain, never in my life can I imagine anything worse. Even the labour must be a doddle compared to this constant searing agony.
