Severe back pain in third trimester
I am into my 7th month of pregnancy and before some days I woke up in morning and suddenly my lower back started paining and start feeling like locked. I was not able to walk properly. Then I consulted my Gynac immediately and she prescribed dolo for 5 days and calcium d vit and one gel for pain. Now I can walk normally but I still face severe pain while coming out of chair or bed. Now Gynac suggested to consult Orthopaedic Surgeon. I am getting tense now. Could you please guide on this.
