I’m 15 weeks pregnant with excruciating back pain. I have been going to physical therapy which helps tremendously but I still have pain during the week and was wondering if it is safe to use an icy hot or lidocaine patch to help with the pain?

A belly band has worked WONDERS For me!!! I use Baobeibody belly band and it 1000% is worth every penny. It helps my back pain, my hip pain, and my round ligament pain, days are not the same without it.

I was always told not to use any of that stuff, that I could use heating pads/ice packs and tylenol only.
