Lower back pain and period cramps

Ho all! I’m only 5 weeks pregnant and I’m suffering! I have nausea and headaches but that’s nothing comparing to the horrible lower back pain and breast tenderness I’m experiencing. The back pain shoots into my leg and at the front underneath my tommy as well! I feel like shooting pain where I usually have my period cramps! I’ve never ever had this issue before my back has always been ok! Is anyone else experiencing the same?! I’m really struggling to walk/do things!
