A member asked:

Is a dull lower back pain on one side cause for concern in early pregnancy?

Dr. Jonathan Kirschner answered

Specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Probably not: Back pain is very common in pregnancy. I would be concerned if you develop numbness, tingling, weakness, bleeding. Ice, rest, changing positions and light physical therapy can all be helpful.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
