I'm having Severe Back Pain?

Question

I'm 5 1/2 weeks pregnant.....but don't think it is related. I bent down earlier to get something my daughter dropped and when I came back up I felt something Pop in my back. A few hours later after I went to bed...I woke up with sharp pains shooting/radiating through my back. It's been about an hour now and it won't go away.

Any ideas on how to get rid of this? It's really not in any general area...just all over! It gets worse when I lay down.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Back pain is one of the worst injuries you can have.  Rest is usually the best cure.  I usually take ibuprofen when the pain first hits, but I'm not sure about this when you're pregnant, so definitely ask a Dr. first.  I have 2 ruptured discs, and have lived with them for over 10 years.  The bad pain usually only comes once every 4 years.  The rest of the time I'm pretty normal.  Good luck, I hope it's just a muscle in your case.
