Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
Back pain generally increase as months of pregnancy increases because increased weight of uterus puts stress in lower spine. So you might expect your back pain to worsen. Secondly much drugs cannot be given during pregnancy as it adversely affects health of baby. So you should take proper rest. Start physiotherapy to strengthen your back from expert physiotherapists. And practice it on regular basis. This will help you during pregnancy and in future. So only option is to wait and practice physiotherapy till pregnancy is over.
