How do you deal with chronic pain when pregnant?

Has anyone here dealt with chronic pain while pregnant? I want to start a family soon but am on pain killers, muscle relaxers and sleeping pills for severe headaches and back pain. I know I will have to quit the methods I use now but what will I do instead?

Obviously I will talk to my dr before trying to conceive but does anyone have any websites or books I might look into now?

Best Answer: While i was pregnant with my son my doctor contiuned on writing me out my painkillers and nerve pills. I did not take them everyday though even though the bottle said too. I took them only when i couldn't take the pain anymore or the nervousness. My son was born healthy so that is all that matters. I am currently pregnant again (Due in December) and i am still on my meds.

    The thing they told me was the safest was sadly extra strength tylenol. But you can take that more often so give it a whirl. Do not take aspirin.
