Cold?

[Emma5397]

Now it's getting colder (U.K.) im noticing that its effect the pain more. guess cause you tense when your cold? Also walking, walking hurts my stomach and lower back so much, even a few mins walk can make me have a fare up and I'll be looking 5months pregnant.

Does anyone else have the same?

Thanks

The cold is killing my back, hips and thighs, I’m in constant pain and it’s absolutely no fun, I’ve basically decided I’m going into hibernation 😂 x

I'm so glad it's not just me!! I totally agree with you on that lol, roll on summer xx

[cmbxm in reply to Emma5397]

I’m also permanently cold, nothing warms me up! Right now in my bedroom I have the central heating on, two king sized duvets, a radiator plugged in on full whack, my dog and a onesie on! Dreading when it snows and actually starts getting cold! It’s 3 degrees and I’m worried I’ll turn into an ice cube, roll on summer indeed!! 🌞🌞🌞

I’m hurting more too but I thought maybe because am a few days away from my cycle. But it could be both

[Emma5397 in reply to Sway72]

Yeah could be both, Iv just notice now it's colder I'm in so much more pain, and no where near my period yet! X

I always hurt more when it’s cold. It’s due to a decrease in blood flow and it makes everything more sensitive! Also tensing as you mentioned makes it worse.

Definitely not alone in this! Xx

Yep, absolutely. When mine hits at scary, horrific level (as in curled up in a ball, throwing up, passing out) I burn up awfully so I can handle that better in winter. Plus I'll be clutching 2 hot water bottles for the pain so in summer that's awful but when it's bad but not horrific I definitely get more random pain in the cold. Things that help a bit - wearing stick on heat pads when outdoors, lots of warming drinks (ginger, anything spicy) all day, Dead Sea salt baths at night, hot water bottle if you sit down at work. It makes sense as you say - tensing due to cold plus circulation slows down xx
