Sciatic nerve pain

charmcitygirl

I'm having some real pains in my a$$ (my left butt cheek specifically) and it does not radiate down my leg like most sciatic pain usually does.  Its the worst when I'm moving from sitting to standing or getting out of bed.

Is there anything else that I can do to make this go away?  Its awfully early (8w) to start this crap, dontcha think?

I had bad sciatic nerve pain with both pregnancies and was shocked at how early it started with #2.

Hands down my saving grace was the tush cush.  (you can google for online sales but I got mine at a local back store)

I did chiropractic care until I turned blue and got some relief but was always in agony by my next appointment.  Once I got my tush cush I never went back to the chiro.

That thing is magic I tell you!

Mine is also in my left butt cheek....nothing seems to work for me so far

my dad has recently discovered that same pain is a ruptured disk for him.  L4 area I believe. The swelling is pinching a nerve or something. (not saying that's same same for you, tho) I begged him to go to acu, and it DID help him a lot. He's still dealing with potential surgery tho, but the cat cannot MOVE, he's beyond miserable. I hope taking it easy is all you need ;-)

very early! however, yes sounds like that's what you are having.

I had some issues while pregnant, hold that, still have issues. I have some stretches I do. I think if you google sciatic stretches you will get some. I don't know what to call them or how to explain them:) ha

It sucks, Itty bitty laid on mine the entire pregnancy.

Um I've been dealing with this from at least 8 week on.  The ONLY thing that has really helped me is going to the chiro dr A LOT.  I now go two times a week, just to maintain SO walking ability.  It's awful haha.   I suggest you find a good chiro and start making apts now!

Sciatic nerve stuff typically causes pain or numbness down your leg-but from your post, it sounds like you're not having that? Just the hip area pain?
I had a lot of that during my pregnancy (early) and it continued after I delivered...in fact, I still have it. Ended up finding out it was SI (sacroiliac) Joint dysfunction. During pregnancy, the hormones cause joint relaxation (esp in the pelvis), and sometimes they just don't go back to normal. Mine didn't and at times I can feel it pop back and forth. PT, exercises specifically to strenthen the ligaments around the joints, and a heating pad made the pain tolerable-but it still flares up from time to time. I'd mention it to your OB at your next appt-they may be able to get you in with PT.

I had that among my many postpartum problems. I've got a great PT to recommend in Rockville if it doesn't go away quickly. Just send me a message on Facebook. Sorry you are dealing with that - hope it's a fluke!
