[quote=Anonymous]OP here with an update.

I think my lower back just had a freak out with the new relaxin in my body and got locked up into some bad positions. I have hypermobility, so this isn’t totally outside of my medical history, but I think I was struck by how fast everything came on. What happened in 24 hours with no physical trauma (stiffness, loss of motion, overall weakness) would have taken a couple days or more without the relaxin. I have also gotten in really good shape in the last year, so I just haven’t had much pain in general.

I used a gel ice pad and took a hot shower yesterday and started to feel better. I also was able to make a 30 minute appointment with my massage therapist, who released a lot of the muscles that were overreacting to the change.

I am still sore around my lower back and hips, and feel weak in my core, but I am regaining some strength. I can roll over to my side in bed without assistance, I can stand up out of bed without finding a hard surface to push myself against (but there is still pain for a moment when standing).

I’m hoping that by posting this resolution I’ll help somebody else in the future. [/quote]
