Brief Answer:
Yes, such pain is possible till few days of abortion.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Provided there is no fever or pain while urine or stool excretion- backache after abortion can be seen in few patients... mostly accompanied by abdominal cramps &blood spotting...seen immediately after abortion .. up to few hours to a couple of days, till all the remnants of uterine content get cleared.

Such pain can be relieved by rest/fomentation or pain medicine prescribed in postabortal prescription.

When pain lasts longer/accompanied by fever or pain while passing stools or urine/accompanied by profuse bleeding, it needs doctor's review and needful management.

I hope that answers your query. Any follow up query is welcome.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Back ache can be related to cervical problem.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

cervicitis...(which may be pre or post abortal) or cervical errosion and back ache can be related...the inflammation in these conditions cause pain.....uncontrolled long standing cervicitis is likely to develop pelvic inflammation & back ache.(This condition is associated with white discharge fever, back ache,painful motions)

A very mild back ache can follow calcium &vitamin D defeciency.
*In this scenario I would suggest for deep vaginal swab&vaginal examination to look for unhealed cervicitis or pelvic inflammation.
serrum calcium &vitamin D needs to be assessed.
Following the results..a specific drug regime would be advised.Please consult your treating gynecologist for proper examination & specific advise.

I hope that answers your query. Any follow up query is welcome.
Thanks.
