Excruciating back pain and slight abdominal pain - anyone else or is it just me?!

I’m feeling like I’m the only person experiencing this! I have constant excruciating back pain down my spine and mild abdominal pain that sometimes flares up when my back is really bad. The midwives tell me is reflux but can’t give me any antacids other than what I’m already taking or additional pain killers other than Panadol. I’m 37 weeks and not sure how I can even keep going to 40 weeks or beyond. My mental health is shot because I’m so exhausted and sick of constantly being in pain. I’m anxious that my pain will come back and can’t sleep lost nights due to said pain. Has anyone else experienced this and any suggestions on what else to do? Hot Baths, showers, heat packs, massage gun, tens machine - you name it hubby and I are doing it all with little to no relief!
