i am 20 weeks pregnant and my back and hips hurt so bad. they have for the last 2 or 3 days. my left leg goes numb once in a while and it's kind of freaking me out. i didn't have these issues till i got pregnant. i assume it's pregnancy related. tylenol and warm baths haven't helped me. does anyone have some advice for me?
it is a pregnancy thing... you're uterus is swelling and sometimes rests on your nerves. a chiropractor that deals with pregnancy chiropractic is always nice too... and my ultimate favorite is prenatal yoga. that helped mine every time.

Back pain can be caused by many possibilities, including;







disorders of the back muscles, for example due to incorrect body position when lifting heavy objects, improper posture when sitting, excessive stretching of the body, sudden and excessive body movements, and so on  

negligence in the spinal cushions, for example due to accidents / injuries that cause these cushions to change position, swell, or be damaged, so that the spinal nerves are pinched and cause pain  

spinal structural abnormalities, such as scoliosis, which is the condition where the spine curves to form the letter C or S  

Spinal infection  

Tumors / malignancies in the spine  

etc







  

Given the many possible causes of complaints, and remembering we also don't examine you directly, we cannot be certain of the conditions that cause the complaints you are experiencing. Therefore, we recommend that you see a doctor (more specifically an orthopedic doctor or neurologist), so that the doctor can perform a direct examination so that the diagnosis can be established. If needed, the doctor may suggest some additional investigations to help the diagnosis process, such as X-ray examination, MRI, CT-scan, and so on.



  

In the meantime, the following suggestions you can take at home while waiting for a doctor's schedule:







limit heavy physical activity, avoid lifting, pulling, or pushing heavy objects  

compress the area with a warm compress to help relieve pain  

if the pain is unbearable, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers, such as paracetamol.  

improve your posture, avoiding too much downcast and tilting the body
