When to worry about back pain?

[bunnyfungo]

Honestly, I'd call it just another fun symptom of pregnancy. Depending on baby's position, they can pinch nerves in your back. This is how I ended up with a wicked case of sciatica. I would treat it like any other back injury; massage, heat, soak in the tub, whatever. Unless it's accompanied by cramping or bleeding, I really don't think you have any reason to worry.

I fell down the google rabbit hole and called the doc. The OB is booked but they made an appt with a GP for me.

I'm 95% sure this is going to be unnecessary but google put the fear in me.

Bad, LLP. ::hits you with a rolled up newspaper:: Never refer to Dr. Google.

Sorry to hear that @littleliverpill, I hope the antobiotics sorts it quickly!x

Edit: fix typo.

Update because I know you're all waiting with baited (bated?) breath:

I have an infection, likely UTI or kidney. Prescribed antibiotics.

This might be one time the stricken fear from Dr. Google has turned out to be helpful then. Glad you're going to get all fixed up.

Glad you got it checked out!!

Feel better!

Glad you got it checked out since there was an infection, but no more googling!!

Wow I never knew back pain could be a symptom of a UTI, good thing you got it checked out. I hope the antibiotics help to relieve your uncomfort.

Feel better!

Hope you feel better soon, and I am glad you got some antibiotics. I think calling a doctor was a good call after experiencing shooting pains.

For future thread stalkers, I will just say that some back pain can just be a symptom of your normal uterus expansion activities. My doctor is not concerned by mild, intermittent lower back pain.

Well boo-urns to infection but yay to getting it cleared up. What a cluster.

Never knew back pain could be a sign of this. I have had UTIs in the past & never had back pain with them. I have had normal pregnancy back pain, though. Also, what I was thinking was sciatica with my last pregnancy, I did some googling last time & learned that a common mistake for sciatica is SI Joint pain, also common in pregnancy. When I brought up that thought to my chiropractor, he did an adjustment in a different way & it actually helped for once!

Glad you got something & can hopefully start feeling better soon!

Yikes! I've had back pain since about week 13. I use a heating pad.

But I'm glad that you did go in since it was an infection! Feel better!

Hope you feel better soon, hon!

Moral of the story. Don't listen to anyone on the Internet. Listen to your own body. But still, fuck Google.
