Hip/leg/pelvis pain
Hi ladies.
Im 24 +4 and for the last couple of weeks ive been in pain with my legs hips and believe pelvis.
I called the doctor 2 weeks ago and he prescribed me dihydrocodeine, which i have taken when i have been desperate.
I also have a pelvic belt which i have worn for shopping walking etc.
However the last couple of nights I have been in absolute agony, im not sleeping which isnt helping.
I dont feel like i over doing it, but feel i cant do anything other than be at work else I’m in agony.
Im struggling to even walk round the house today.
Any recommendations? Should i call my doctor or midwife again?

Ask your midwife to be referred to physio. As soon as possible to prevent it from getting worse.
You can self refer to physio for help. I referred myself on Thursday and waiting on them to get back to me. I don't think I need medication as I'm coping with it for now but I referred to get advice and tips for exercises xx

I am an active runner and started getting the same pain at 22 weeks. I couldn’t even move positions on the sofa one evening as it was so painful. I have met with a physio who has given me a few exercises to work on strengthening my glutes/hips/core. They also suggested making sure I am keeping up with my pelvic floor exercises. I’m not running as far as I was but have been able to manage 5km the last 3 days in a row so may be worth looking at a physio?
