I met with the PT doctor today. Unfortunately, I am one of the "lucky" ones experiencing this kind of pain. It's all due to the hormone relaxin, which loosens all the ligaments in the body in preparation for birthing the baby. She prescribed me a support belt, the use of a handicap placard for parking, and gave me a packet of exercises. If they don't seem to help or the pain gets worse, she wants to me to come back in.
I am also on restriction now from stairs, standing, or walking far distances. She specifically instructed me to save my steps each day so I wouldn't be in too much pain.
I guess this is the trade-off for not really having morning sickness? Oh well.
