after dancing with my 2 kids to christmas music 2 weeks ago i done somthing to my pelivs. I have SPD. i could hardly move and didnt want to go see a doc as they neaver undrestand. Well my DH made an appoitment after i had to call him at work to come home as i couldnt manage the kids.

I went in to the doc and said i am in realy a lot of pain and i have SPD i think i may need to see a specielist. I also said that it was making my PND really bad. WELL this is what he said,

Oh its just a sore back so i will give you more pain killers, i have to do plenty of exercising i told him that walking makes it worse he said, i am not telling you to do weight lifting or anything like that. i told him that not playing and interactig with my children was really gettin me down. he said LOOK if you had the flu you would be in bed so whats the diffrence.

at this point i almost started to cry if i could have got down on the floor and beg him i think i may have. i just left with my painkillers and told DH what had happened. he was so angry i had to stop him from going into the doc.

Now i am in bed and the kids and HD are away to glasgow to see the lights. I cant get down stairs. standing is sore sitting is sore.

my DH has told me that he is making an appointment for another doc but i dont know if i can go again. I really want to go out with the family next week as wee all take the kids out and go awround the shops and go out for dinner i dont think i can manage it. i half joked about needing a wheelchair but i think this may be the only way i can go out.

sory i just needed to get that out. sorry for the spelling my room is dark xxxx

This makes me so angry!

Phone the surgery and ask to see to speak to the manager. Then ask which GP understands SPD pain, explain what has happened and say you need some help but your scared to go through it all over again.

In the mean time rest, follow my instructions in spd article, and dont do as your doc said and exersize. You need to see a physio who understands. Also look into acupuncture (avaliable on NHS) chiropractor, and if it continues get a referal to a pain specialist.

Also what painkillers are you on?

We have an spd forum now so post in there for more advice!

Take care hun and I hope it eases soon. I really understand what you are going though!
