Myofacial pains are common in pregnancy due to excessive lordosis. Hot water fomentation,application of gels like flexabenz, oral analgesics like paracetamol thrice daily use of portable devices like TENS can be of great help.You can go for some physiotherapy setions for quick relief. Physiotherapist will also teach you ways for posture correction. Other drugs like tramadol,diclofenac, buprenorphine patches also can be use if paracetamol alone is not helping. Please visit a pain physician
