Hello,
History noted, My suggestion is to follow some simple exercises and postural techniques. The relief will be gradual and makes you comfortable. Use a pillow under your thighs while sleeping, which straightens your back. Sit erect so that your back is straight while feeding as well as relaxing.Drink a cup of milk daily before going to sleep. For time being till you getting used to the modifications mentioned above, use pain relieving topical ointment twice a day.
Good day.

this type of pain occurs due to relaxation of ligaments during pregnancy. this shall be taken care of in case u take some medicine with glucosamine sulphate, chymoral forte and muscle relaxant like tizanidine. add gabapentin 300 mg twice daily to this regime,.
