<p>Good point. Try to avoid ibuprofen if your daughter has any history of heavy/internal bleeding or has a bleeding disorder (in which case you’d probably know this already). You may also want to casually mention that she shouldn’t mix alcohol with Advil. Tons of people do it, but it’s really not the best decision.</p>
<p>Dizzymom – I suspect you are right about what is going on. </p>
<p>Cheers – I thought about acupuncture, but this child has is very very afraid of needles, knives, bees, anything sharp! However, will consider it if need be. It would just be a bit further down the list to think about for this kid.</p>
<p>dizzymom - ouch… your reminder of sciatica while pregnant brought back horrible memories. Thankfully I only had it with D2, but it was bad. And you’re right - it’s about the ligaments reaction to those pregnancy hormones.</p>
