Pain, Depression, and Reflux

Monica Said:

Can constipation add to already existing lower back/hip pain?

We Answered:

Yes, it's possible that it could be adding to the already existing pain. I would recommend asking your doctor if it's ok to take Colace (a stool softener) to see if that helps to ease some of the pain that is coming from the constipation.

Stephen Said:

How long do you leave a TENS unit on for low back pain and hip pain? Is there a limit to how long to keep on?

We Answered:

Mine cuts off after ten minutes, so that is all I do, ten minutes every hour.

Darryl Said:

How did you deal with hip and back pain after giving birth?

Try sitting on a pillow and doing some light stretches.
Most people do get back to normal after awhile it does taker long for some moms than others.

Mario Said:

I have back pain, hip pain, headache, fever, chills, drinking a lot, going to the bathroom a lot. What is it?

We Answered:

Could be a kidney stone but also sounds like you have a touch of the flu with fever, chills and headache. Take Tylenol and see if it helps any at all. If not see a Dr.

Adrian Said:

Is it normal to experience sever lower back and hip pain on the right side in early pregnancy?

We Answered:

Some might think it's your uterus stretching, but that sounds a lot like my sciatic pain. I started getting that really early too. Unfortunately my doctor joked that the only cure is "Birth!". It really is painful sometimes. I hate it. It goes away a little but never all the way. What I do, is get a warm press to put on my leg/hip, lower back. Sometimes, I just have to lie on my left side, or put my weight on my left side. Feel better!!
