What Causes Back Pain During Pregnancy?
I m running out of options so i m coming here for help! Before my question a slight background history, I m a 22 year old mom of a 2 year old daughter and i am 28 weeks 4 days pregnant with my son. I have been experiencing this extreme pain in my back with no way to make it stop. I have gone to my OBGYN and i have visited 2 different hospitals and all they say is take Tylenol but that s not helping the pain! I haven t been able to go to work in almost 2 weeks and i am at the point i can NOT handle this pain anymore! From a medical point of view what should i do?

Hello dear,
There are many possible reasons why back pain occurs:

For treatment you can do strengthening exercises, walking, swimming, and stationary cycling. Applying heat and cold to your back can be helpful. For improvement your posture you can wear a support belt.
Hope it helps
