Pilates causes significant pain in hip / lower back? (feddit.org)

Might be a question with an obvious answer, but I'd like some input.

I'm into Pilates recently (5 weeks), because it just feels so good and helps a few of my health conditions. But I've been experiencing issues with my hip and lower back ever since I started. The pain is significant, but according to my doctor, it's muscular.

Is this the typical "it gets worse before it gets better" situation, or should I consider to drop it?

Anyone with similar experience?

Thanks!

I'll try to find out what's wrong or if this is normal. Pain is really bad at the moment, but I guess it's nothing serious.

If it's sharp and in one place, and started at a certain moment, I would think of a trauma. If it came a day or two after and covers wider area, it's just your body not used to trainings and it won't reappear like that after a few trainings. I dropped gym and came back many times, and each time I felt "the punishment" for that :)
Edit: still, being in contact with a doctor is always nice. Don't go crazy about any negative feeling, but ignoring problems is always not great. Listen to yourself, but with a grain of doubt, because our bodies generally like to complain
