I'm 19 weeks pregnant and randomly have severe pain in my lower left side of my back that feels like bones rubbing together. It especially hurts when I move my left leg certain ways. Sometimes its a constant pain and other times it makes it hard to walk. What should I do?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
The pain in your lower left back in lower region.. seems to be due to pain in hip joint , from your description.
Such pain is possible in pregnancy because of-
- Loosening of ligaments of joint due to pregnancy hormone.
- Gravitational changes in back muscles/ ligaments due to pregnancy.
- Calcium/ vitamin deficiency
- Some times fetus pressing over sciatic nerve .
* You can take care of this problem by-
- Rest while pain is unbearable.
- Hot or cold compressions./ Muscle relaxant ointments locally.
- Taking calcium/ vitamin D supplements.
- Doing mild pregnancy yoga exercises under expert guidance.
- Pain killers/ vitamin B12 medication as per your doctors advcie.
Thanks.
