Hi mumsnetters
Im 27 weeks. Since last tuesday ive had terrible hip pain that got worse and so i asked work if i can work from home on friday which they agreed to and as i had no appointments. I thought it would get better but it hasnt. I can hardly go up and down stairs and excrutiating (sp?) pain when walking as soon as i get up. The pain travels to my back too. I had problems with hip pain before but that was when i am trying to move from side to side in bed and never affected my walking until now.
I went gp yesterday who just told me its normal pregnancy pains and i should take paracetamol and i could sign myself off for up to 7 days. My issue is what if it doesnt get better? What can i do about work? Anyone else had pain like thia before? Ive spoken to a midwife who said i may need referral to physio but will know for sure at my midwife appointment on friday.
