Pelvic pain
I’ve got bad pelvic pain to the point I can barely walk and it’s leaving me in tears. I work on a ward doing 13 hour shifts and I’m 26 weeks. Paracetamol isn’t cutting it anymore is there any other relief anyone can recommend?

Also, forgot to say make sure you’re taking regular breaks, writing your notes sat down and things like that so that you’re not constantly standing. I know that’s tricky on the ward but regularly sitting down/standing up/changing position helped me. Hopefully your manager can support this x

I’d contact the maternity physio service - they can provide you with exercises, a support belt etc. Have you had a staff risk assessment also? I’m a nurse and there were certain things I’d avoid ie heavy leg bandaging etc and would swap with colleagues x
