1. Have your dr. prescribe you something...usually tylenol. Heating pds on your back is just fine!

2. I also have bad back pain, my doc gave me co-codamol. That helps a lot. But I am going to be seeing a physiotherapist soon because of the extra weight.

3. don't know if you've heard of a TENS machine, can help with general back pain, and some can also help with labour pains as well, though not all are for both I think, they go from £20+
