Common w. Pregnancy : You have had problem for a long time. Common with pregnancy can cause a ligament in the feet to become very lax promoting a flat foot when walking and standing this can cause tremendous stress to the lower back sometimes a limb length difference where one leg is longer than the other or you could be functioning as a one hip is higher than the other A podiatrist can help with orthotics
