Does Pain In Back And Thighs Due To SPD Increase During Pregnancy?

Hi I am 29 weeks pregnant and been told by physio that I have SPD. I experience pain in my left bum check, lower back and inside of my thighs. She gave me a support belt, exercises and I have been perscribed some pain killers. She has now discharged me and told me to deal with the pain. However I feel it is just getting worse. Will it get worse the further my pregnancy goes? I know I am suppossed to rest more but find it hard as work 3 full days and have a 16month old.

Hi,

Symphysio pubic dysfunction will get worse as pregnancy advances ,and the treatment is rest and if its too bad braces to help you move around. Pain killers are also helpful,but you have to realize that all these are of only limited help. This pain will get away once you deliver.
It is not a serious condition and doesn't have any long term effects but it is a very painful situation to be in.
You will recover completely by 3-6 months post delivery.
Labor can also be affected and please try for a normal delivery as, caesarean does not benefit the condition in any way.
Try to take as much rest as possible and also do the exercises prescribed by the physio.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
