Why Do I Have Lower Back Pain After Having Sex?

I am a 43 year old woman, I hysterectomy about 2 years ago but still have my ovaries.I have the most severe lower back pain especially after sexual intercourse not during but usually the next day. It's so severe that I can hardly walk or move and an anti=inflammatory helps but doesn't take it away completely. I have also put on about 7kg in the last 4 months for no reason,I haven't changed my eating habits at all.I

Hi there.

Your symptoms correlate to disease called Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc......

Kindly get an immediate Xray and MRI of the lumbosacral spine region done.
Get it evaluated by an orthopedician.

In the meantime follow this protocol :
1. Bed rest.....as much as possible
2. Avoid bending forward and avoid lifting heavy objects
3. Local heat massage and analgesic gel application
4. Painkiller and muscle relaxant medication.
5. Pregablin to suppress the tingling sensations

Weight gain may be due to inactivity caused by back pain.

I hope my advice has helped
Good luck
