i have non specific colitis following results from a colonoscopy. Im now 16weeks pregnant with alot of low abdominal discomfort and pressure which is also giving me lower back ache. I tried coli foam last night but still very tender. Feel pressure now like i should in my last trimester. What should i do?? Not due to see a midwife until im 28weeks
Dear patient Backache during pregnancy is very common due to increased weight of uterus which puts stress on lower spine.  But since you are carrying baby not much Chat Doctor.  Also, colitis limits usage of painkillers.  So improve your gait and try to put less stress on your back. Try local measures such as diclofenac gel application and hot water fomentation. Wait till your child is delivered, and your pain will automatically go away.
