Obviously there's no way your're going to stop carying them, but try to remember to switch hips and arms carrying them. Yoga is good for back pain too, see if there's a good place near you or just get a dvd or two and do it at home while the kids are sleeping. It's really good for relieving stress too, which may also help the back pain. Everything always seems to be connected.

I think you should always tell your doctor. There could be something more than just a strain that should be treated. If you aren't comfortable telling, then get a new doctor. Also, you don't have to tell "everything". Also, definitely your PT will help.. follow his/her exercise recommendations completely. I might also ask- "how good is your partner at massage"? A good hot shower followed by a strong deep massage (not too deep.. I don't recommend Rolfing) can be very therapeutic, and can also be a new way to "explore". Finally, an overall focus on strengthening your "core" will be a big plus for your lengthy sessions, and also for other activities of daily living. Good luck!.. Don't forget to report back later!

Sex is the oldest type of physical activity there is. So it's not that you didn't answer honestly it's that your Doctor phrased the question in the wrong way.

You'll need some adjustment time and frequent use of those body parts. I'll bet you'll be just fine very soon. ;) I think it might be that you’re using muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc. that were not being used very much before.

And yeah, I would have been honest with your doctor. What's the point of going to one if you're just going to lie about yourself? Are you going to lie to your physio too? my experience is that the vast majority of chiropractors are quacks, who are also taught unproven stuff like acupuncture, homeopathy, energy lines, auras, etc. etc.
