Suggest remedy for back pain during pregnancy?
Patient: Hi I am 4 months pregnant. I am taking doxinate regularly, still I vomit every alternate day. Sometimes three or four times in morning. Could you please suggest any other wayout for the same. I have back pain and pelvic area pain from last one week. Is there any wayout to prevent this pain or to reduce its intensity. Doctor: Welcome to healthcaremagic,Getting some back pain is fairly common during pregnancy due to loss of calcium and increased strain on your back muscle due to growing baby. Use a pillow to support your back while seated and use it in between your legs to support them while sleeping. Use a hot water back to give heat to your back, this will reduce the pain. Take calcium tablets 500 mg per day for 2 months as you will need extra calcium during pregnancy which will make your bones stronger. Your vomiting will gradually improve on its own from 5th month onwards so just take doxinate till then.Hope that answers your question,Regards, Dr.Imaad.
