Pregnant. Have Pain Due To Injury To L5S1. Hip Pain, Abdominal Pain, Hot Flushes. What To Do?

Hello.
I am 21 weeks pregnant. I have an injury to my L5S1 which is causing severe pain every time I sit, the pain is through the left side of my hip and continues around into my lower abdoman on the same side. I can barely touch the side of my stomach without feeling pain and my hip pain is so intense I get hot flushes when experiencing it.
What can I do about this?

Hi,
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. After analyzing your symptoms I feel you might need an X-ray pelvis AFTER SHIELDING THE ABDOMEN, which will be decided by your Orthopaedician. Till then I suggest you apply some pain killer ointment. Lower abdominal pain can be due to urinary infection also. Kindly get urine examination also done.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept it.
Thank you,
Wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr Arif
