How Can Lower Backache Be Treated?
Hi. I have had back pain for 3 days now. I do have diastis recti, but typically that back pain was lower. This is in the middle of my back. It hurts to sit in certain positions and sometimes I feel it when I breathe deeply. Is this normal with diastis recti, or unrelated? What can I do? I tried stretching my back but that didn t help.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion your back pain is not related to diastasis recti unless it is caused by a hernia. In my opinion you should start back exercises (muscle strengthening and not stretching at present) along with painkillers and if there is no relief then get X-rays of the affected area. Also go for bone densitometry- weakness in the bones can also relate to back pain.
Thanks.
