Pain here + pain there = pain everywhere!

I have always had backaches. Mainly on the shoulder blades, around the spine, between the shoulders, below the neck.... ok, the whole upper back. With the pregnancy, comes the pelvic girdle pain, especially when I have walked too much (like in the mall the other day), or swim the breaststroke. Then this old pain at the right waist reappears out of the blue. Especially since I am encouraged to sleep on my sides instead of my back now. Initially, it started some time back when I was working on the computer a lot placed on the left arm rest of the sofa. Today, there is just this arthritic kind of pain on my wrists. Makes me wonder if it was from playing too much ring-a-ring o' roses with your che-che earlier on.

What makes the pain more bearable:
Upper backaches
Move head back, kinda like trying to form double chin, release and repeat.

Rotate arms around, first in one direction then the other way round and repeat with the other arm.

Tilt head to the right and stretch left arm on the opposite direction and hold a few counts. There should be a stretching sensation around the neck area. Repeat a few times before switching sides. 

Waist
Stuff pillows/ blankets around waist and between my legs during sleep so that when sleeping on my side, I am aligned.

Prevent facing the left from the waist for too long.

Wrists
Haven't really thought much as tonight is the first night of the attack. Maybe no more ring-a-ring o' roses for the time being? :( I am sure some pregnancy approved painkillers like paracetamol will help but I try to stay away medication as much as possible unless it is that unbearable.

Pelvic Girdle Pain
Sit on the balance ball with an upright posture and do breathing exercises - in through the nostril and out through the mouth.

Sleep with pillows/ blankets/ towels/ bolsters stuffed in the right places (see 'Waist' picture above).
Don't walk too fast or too much too suddenly or swim the breaststroke.
Swim or rather dip (actually just float) in the pool to get some pressure off. Incorporate some arm punches along as a form of exercise...

Hopefully no more pain anywhere else!
