Poor you!!
I'm with gail on the wheat bags, micro them and sick them between knees, feet, hip or anywhere it hurts. Nice warm bath helps too.
Ask your midwife about a maternity belt, they help take the strain off your back. Only other thing I can add would be to rest but having 2 kids of my own I know you wont get much.

I am 33 weeks pregnant and also have a prolasped disc I was in hopsital for 5 days unable to move and given very strong pain killers. I am back at home now and able to walk slowly but also have a 3 year old to look after while my husband works long hours. I have been using a hot water bottle and a maternity belt which help. The boredom and being housebound is driving me crazy. Not good!!! Hope we both get better soon.
