Here is a description of what it is.

I’ve had it with both pregnancies, and it seems to be worse with this one, though, I may just be forgetting what it was like last time. I don’t want to use the word excruciating when there are women with real pregnancy problems, but I will say it hurts a lot. It’s very hard to even walk sometimes, especially first thing in the morning or when I’ve been sitting a while and try to stand.

Has anyone had experience with relief of this pain? Tylenol doesn’t seem to work. I tried a heating pad, too, but it’s difficult to reach my groin area (for my gigantic belly), let alone hold a pad there long enough to do any good, and the heating pad instructions say not to sit on it (or lean on it, or pin it between my legs) for safety reasons.

I’ll take any suggestions. Thanks for reading.
