i have had hip, lower back and pelvic pain since my pregnancy 4 years ago. I have had several courses of physiotherapy and continue to do the exercises at home. The pain gets severely worse the day after i have done alot. for example if i have had a day out shopping that evening and the following day the pain is excruciating. My hips are painful to touch my lower back aches constantly and gets worse when trying to sit or stand. I have trouble raising my left leg to put shoes/socks on. I feel my GP keeps fobbing me off with painkillers and promises of more physio that doesn t seem to help in the long term. What do you think the problem could be
Hello, Thanks for writing to us. Lower back, hip and pelvic pain is common after childbirth. In most cases its occurs due to deficiency of it D3 known as osteomalacia. You need X-ray of lower spine and pelvis to diagnose your condition. You need proper it D3 supplements. Furthermore, you can take this after prescription of your doctor. Avoid forward bending and heavy weight lifting. Hope this will help nourishing you good health... Regards.  Chat Doctor. Orthopedic Surgeon
