Suggest Remedy For Severe Back Pain During Pregnancy

I am currently 10 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing back pain since about 5 weeks. It hasn t been very bothersome up until tonight. I am in severe pain and could barely walk. Every time I take a deep breath pain shoots through my lower back. Should I be seen right away?

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the pain in lower back might be due to various causes like:-
1)Muscular pain.
2)Pregnancy related like any suspicion of miscarriage but here the pain is associated with abdominal cramps with or without spotting.
3)Constipation causing low back ache.
4)Any renal stones - Here there might be urinary symptoms like burning or any.

So all the above causes should be evaluated.

I suggest you to see a doctor and get any necessary investigations like ultrasound,complete urine examination done.

Nothing to worry.
As per your information the low back pain appears mostly due to muscular pain as you don't have any associated symptoms as I described above and it has been since 5 weeks of pregnancy.

But it needs to be confirmed after physical examination and necessary investigations.

So kindly consult a doctor.

Avoid physical strain and intercourse.
Take good rest.


Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
