Thread: had spd with my 5th baby

i think i may have had it with a few of my others but just kept getting told that it was just ligaments stretching.
With my 5th i finally got a diagnosis had physio which really didnt help, had to wear the big ugly support belt..they wanted to give me crutches but i tried to just deal with it, even walking across my tiny livingroom hurt and i had to hold the walls for support, i used to just sleep downstairs as it hurt to climb in and out of my bed..
But even now 4 years later i still hurt.
Is it normal, does it ever go away.
i was contemplating physio again but honestly dont believe anything will help anymore, i put it down to being one of those things.
I cant even do a yard clean without stopping and starting as the pain begins to really hurt..
I try not to use pain killers too often, sometimes i wake up in the morning with the stiffness and pain in one side..
Its mostly my left hip that hurts, i rarely get it in the right side anymore just the odd twinge here and there..
I cant even carry my 4 yr old who weighs less than two stone for long as i hurt when i lift anything..
Has anyone else here dealt with that years later?

not sure if you still read these but needed to reassure you that although it still hurts and will always hurt slightly there is hope.
I ended up in a wheelchair as my spd got too bad to walk!
I now walk fine most of the time and only have severe pain in my right hip on occassions.
The hospital can do injections into your hip to help ease the swelling or pain.
