Sciatic Nerve Pain Anyone??

Ouch! I've been experiencing this for about a week. I feel like one moment I can walk fine, and the next moment I'm about to swipe the walker used by my boss.

However, I'm happy that this has been my only issue thus far. 

Re: Sciatic Nerve Pain Anyone??

  • I limped off and on all day yesterday because my sciatic was causing my right butt cheek to cramp up and then send shooting pains down my leg. I was asked by several concerned co-workers if I was ok. When I told them yeah, I just keep having butt cramps they laughed and didn't ask anymore questions, LOL! It's probably a good thing I work with mostly women.

  • I experience this a lot! I had it before I was pregnant right around AF it would be really bad. Yesterday I had this so bad all day! I try stretching and trying different positions to relieve the pressure. Use a heating pad. GL
  • Yes. I HATE it! But if you get down on all 4's and rock back and forth it will usually move LO off that nerve and you're back to normal....that is until LO decides that the old position is much more comfy than the new one you've rocked them into and go back to pressing on that nerve! I have to say that the last 2 days since DS has turned head down it's been much better and a lot less frequent. Hope you get relief soon!
  • I'm right there with you - worst thing ever. I had DH put an ice pack on mine last time and it felt a lot better afterwards.
  • Mines been pretty bad for the past few weeks.  OB sent me to physical therapy and it's been a life saver! They gave me stretches to do and home and at my sessions, and tips of movement and sleeping.  If it doesn't get better on it's own, you should consider consulting a PT or chiropractor!!
