Sciatic Nerve Pain?

pinkgrl84

I am getting the worst pain in my left butt cheek! It is almost like a shooting pain/cramping feeling. The pain is off and on so intense I am almost in tears. Is this sciatic nerve pain? I am using a heating pad for some relief, any other tips??? TIA!

Me too! I was stuck in bed this morning because I couldn't roll to get out! I have a dr appt Tuesday I'm planning on asking, and maybe I need a trip to my hot chiro;)

I'm with you, girl! I literally feel your pain.
Sounds like sciatic nerve pain to me. I had it pre-pregnancy, and now it's back tenfold.
I use my heating pad.
I also recommend putting a tennis ball under your butt (whatever side hurts) and linger on the sensitive parts. It sucks, but it helps in a "wtf, this fkn hurts" kind of way. It helps me! It's a form of accupressure.

Good luck, lady!

Thanks ladies!!

Sounds like it to me. I had it pre pregnancy from my endometriosis. Stretching the area helps the most!! Massage and heat helps me too.

Thanks ladies! I called my dr this morning and the nurse said they may recommend physical therapy to learn exercises to help alleviate the pain. I am still waiting for the call back to confirm if this is the path they want me to take! I took today off of work so hopefully tomorrow will be better...

I have this too! Same side too! Took me forever to figure out what it was. It started in slo pitch when I was only about 8 weeks along and I figured I just pulled a butt muscle. Mines okay now if I don't do much, but after I walk or anything it gets pretty bad. I went shopping a couple of weeks ago and spent 8 hrs on my feet walking, when I got home I couldn't move at all. It was awful.
