As with back pain, I've read this article from WebMD



And found also this treatments:



Some more tips I've read:

  • If you need to pick something up from the ground, use your legs to squat rather than bend over.
  • Don't wear high-heeled shoes.
  • Don't sleep on your back.
  • Wear support hose.
If your back pain persists, you may want to consult your  doctor to see what else you might try. Be sure to consult your doctor before taking pain medications. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is safe for most women to take during pregnancy. Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) are not advised. In some cases, your doctor may recommend other pain medicines or muscle relaxants that are safe during pregnancy.
