I am 30 weeks pregnant now and am having a really terrible back pain. . . its really a point on the mid-left on my back which has this acute pain mostly when i am sitting. . . . driving is a nightmare! I feel better when i lie down. I feel like taking rest every half hour but it really gets terrible at work when i have to sit all the time. . . . i try to get up and go which makes me feel a small better but its back as soon as i get back to work!!!!!
Please help. I dont want to take any medication and want to know if there is something like a belt or other maternity product that can help in this situation.

I have never had any back problems before but right after an auto accident I have been having persistent lower back pain. Pain that affects the way I go, how long I sit, lifting 10+ pounds, etc. I had a MRI done which showed mild arthritis & inflamation, other than that MRI is normally. They are referring me to pain management b/c the pain is intense, I usually lose 1 to 3 days a week from the pain. This doesn’t seem right to me, why would I just start hurting like this? Thanks.

Last night I had a back ache, and my mom place this heat product on my back that is supposed to be fantastic for back pains. And it worked! Just before, I took a shower, and my back is BURNING. It is the worst pain I’ve ever felt. . . what am I supposed to do? Please help me. I am really freaking out.

My elderly relative has a (she thinks) muscular pain in her back – (has been in hospital lately and they didn’t reckon it was anything other than a muscular pain) but she’s on Warfarin and so can only take Paracetamol.
The pain is really persistent and it would be fantastic if I could find some other option that I could then suggest to her GP. (No excellent suggesting exercise as she’s not very mobile at present). Advice appreciated.
