2nd Trimester

Does this sound like sciatic nerve pain?

I've had a back ache now for a couple of hours. It's bearable now, but was pretty intense for about 2 hours and I had sharp pains across my pubic bone and occasionally down my right leg. Sciatic nerve maybe?

  • the sciatic nerves runs from ur back down into ur buttcheek-ish area... and the pain will travel down into ur legs sometimes if irritated enough.

    This completely describes my sciatic nerve pain. ?Usually I find the pain, and sit and roll on a tennis ball to help. ?

  • It does sound like sciatic pain.  Have you tried a heating pad?

    No, but I sat in the bath tub for awhile and the heat seemed to help.

  • I wonder if the pubic pain might be RLP?  I usually get that in my lower abdomen and I've heard from friends that they also experienced it in the groin area.

  • Sounds like you have both :) The sharp pains across your pelvic bone is the round ligament pain and if your back pain in low and almost in your butt, than that is sciatic nerve pain. I have both, the sciatic nerve pain in this pregnancy is so bad that I am now working only part time and in the mornings, unfortunately this time around, I cant just come home and rest and put my feet up for the rest of night, I have to chase an 11 month old around all afternoon/evening...my round ligament pain usually comes if I move too fast or if I stretch to far, that sort of thing. Sometime I even get it if I cough...lol

    GL!!! Baths and massages are great :)
