Dear abbas,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Backache is very common in pregnancy.
The hormonal changes relax the joints causing instability and pain. Calcium and vitamin d deficiencies also worsen the pain.
I would recommend the following.
Sit with back support or pillow.
Avoid bending.
Volini ointment local applicationq
Hot water pack application
Vitamin d blood levels to be checked.
Calcium and vitamin d supplements
Please write back with reports.
Thanks
