Sharing some back pain relief love....

[beezybaby]

I have had pretty bad sciatica pain in all three pregnancies.  Additionally, I fell a few weeks ago and really hurt my back, to the point where I couldn't even walk!  I was literally crawling around my house (picture it.....laugh....now feel sorry for me...)  Anyway, a friend told me that her doula had recommended to her to use a magnesium powder supplement, preferably with calcium.  I took my first dose yesterday morning, and by the time I went to bed I was 50% better, this morning I woke up pain free!  And I didn't even have a chiro appointment yesterday!  I am still in shock every time I stand up that I don't have shooting pains, but I don't.  

Just wanted to share the love for anyone who may be experiencing this type of back pain.  this is the stuff I got...you can get it from just about any health food store, and on amazon.  It is like 25 bucks, but when you are probably shelling out $30 or more per adjustment, it is so worth it to try!

Thanks for the info! My friend, who is also pregnant, has been having back pain. I'll mention this to her!

Do you know if it is helping with back pain in general? I have upper back pain and have been thinking of trying magnesium

I don't know the science behind it, but I can tell you that I was suffering from much more than sciatica, as a result of my fall.  And now I am suffering from....nothing!  So, I would think it would be worth the try.
