Can Pregnancy Cause Back Pain?

On Saturday I had back pain and what I thought might be a kidney stone. They did a urine dip which was negative for leuks and pregnancy. They also did an ultrasound and said the kidneys were fine but that I had free fluid in my uterus. I feel the pain is muscle, but yesterday I did another pregnancy test as I am late and it came back positive. Do I need to be concerned?

Dear patient
Positive pregnancy test means you are pregnant. You need to be concerned as pregnancy needs extra care and responsibilities. You should ask for repeat ultrasound of abdomen to assess duration of pregnancy. Avoid taking drugs during pregnancy. Xray is also contra indicated. Back pain is common during pregnancy but not in initial months. It is common during second and third trimester of pregnancy. U should apply diclofenac gel locally at the site of pain. Wait till pregnancy is over.all the best.
