Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In Lower Back And Inner Thighs In Pregnancy

my question is; I am 31 weeks pregnant and have sever pain in my lower back and inner thigns. The pain is so bad that I have a hard time walking and playing with my son. Not only am I pregnant but I also have Hepatitis C. Which has ment no Ibepofen and nothing with Tylenol. My worry is I still have awhile to go with this pregnancy and the pain has been getting worse as my stomach expands. I have tryed home remadies (such as hot bath)and nothing has helped. Is there any medication that you could recomend to help me? please and thank you. Sincerly, Ashleigh B.

Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

What you are experiencing could be preterm labor and it is essential for you to go to a Gynaecologist and get yourself checked, if you are in labour or not.

It is very necessary to rule out preterm labour, especially since the pain is severe and radiating from abdomen to the thigh.

Preterm birth can lead to problems for your baby and it may require NICU admission and help with breathing.

Hepatitis C has nothing to do with the pain and it has a less than 20% chance to be passed on to the baby.

If you have only hepatitis C infection with no infection of Hepatitis B virus then it is absolutely safe for you to go for a normal vaginal delivery.

Only if have co-infections with either hepatitis B or HIV that it is necessary for you to undergo a cesarean to decrease risk of transmission of virus to baby.

Inform your neonatologist about the hepatitis C infection so that appropriate care of the baby can be taken at birth.

Do not neglect the pain and see a doctor immediately.

Hope this helps
Regards.
