Pain when walking in very low right side of back
Ok I'm 37 weeks pregnant and last week I was cleaning vacuuming moving some furniture but nothing incredibly heavy...at some point I started noticing low back pain in the lowest part of my back toward the right side but like mud right side and its only when I walk on my right leg or put pressure on my right leg. I'm terrified bc I have a history of osteopenia and had a stress fracture in my left femural neck and had 3 pins put in for it. Back last October I had a bone scan and my bone levels were right at normal again but still low level normal. I take calcium twice a day every day since I've had my surgery in 2011 but I'm scared I may have fractured something again? I tried going to Walmart today and the pain from trying to walk on my right leg almost made me pass out. My legs don't hurt and I have relief when I sit or lay down but anytime I try and walk it kills me. Anyone have this??? Please help!

I personally totally missed that you are 37 weeks pregnant! Wowie, you could be in labor. Call your doctor's office about this if the pains increase or get cyclical. good luck dear and happy birth day to your baby and you!

Hello,
This pain can be because of the hormones and uterine growth due to the fetal growth which pulls the ligaments of the uterus. But there are some signs of labor which you need to keep an eye on. First of all, there may be lightening or when your baby’s head drops down into the pelvic region. You may find it easier to breathe or you may sense heaviness in your lower abdomen. The other symptoms are increased contractions (come at regular intervals, do not decrease with change in posture and last about 30-70 seconds) and sometimes a bloody show due to passing of the cervical mucus plug.
If you notice any of these signs then consult your doctor immediately.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Hi and welcome. I would definitely consider seeing your doctor about this. Your GP would be a good choice. It could be related to the bone loss but also could be associated with the kidney, a hernia, soft tissue issue. Lots of things that it could be. If it hurts badly, I'd get it checked out. Lots of luck and let us know how you are doing
