PGP- how to relieve symptoms

I got diagnosed about a month ago - I’m now 24 weeks pregnant. I’ve been in excruciating pain for the last 2 days and rang my maternity assessment unit - they’ve told me there is nothing they can do as I’m on maximum pain relief - but it’s not touching the sides. Any advice would be great as I feel helpless x

What pain relief are you on? And where is the pain? I'm 21+5 and the same! Mainly pubic region. I've just seen an osteopath to get exercises and ice pack 5-10 minutes ever hour provides *some* relief but I really feel you

I’m on 30mg of dihydrocodeine and paracetamol. Mine is on my left hand side and just feels very cranky and sore all the time it’s been awful. I’ve been applying heat packs for small periods of time but it’s been so difficult and so painful I can’t even work 😢

So, osteopath said because it's inflammation and getting irritated every time I move, to use ice packs for short periods as they reduce the blood getting there whereas heat pads encourage blood! Everyone is different but might help :( I totally feel you, I'm struggling to work and considered being signed off, and if it gets worse I may have to :( Have you read/accessed the pelvic partnership? That's really helped me too! I really feel for you

I had this when I was pregnant and could not walk for longer than 5/10 minutes even that was bad. I saw a physio as well and they provided some tips but honestly nothing helped whatsoever. The pain did go away once I had my baby girl though so just know it won’t last forever. Sending love xxx
