Posted by Lesley Have you tried Tiger Balm - I find it helps a great deal and is a natural rememdy containing menthol. I too have an unstable pelvis and although I suffered dislocations during my pregnancy, I didn't get any pain with it until the birth itself and after my baby was born. I now wear a pelvic girdle and it helps a great deal. Speak to someone who knows what you can & can't put on your skin during pregnancy (ie an aromatherapist) - it may help. Good luck Lesley
