Mom's of 2+ - Sciatica came back???

I had it while pg with DD, b-a-d. Now, it's back =/

I've been having trouble sleeping to begin with and now throw this into the mix = no sleep at all. 

Is there anything that helps it? 

I loved being pg but thinking of having it now and even worse while pg with #3 is a HUGE turnoff Sad

    I'm not going to lie....#3 was the worst pain of my entire life.  I was induced with Pitocin and the pain from my back and hip was worse than the contractions.  I almost wanted an epidural just for that.

    I saw a chiropractor who specializes in pregnancy issues.  I ended up having other issues going on, so she couldn't help me.  She did say that my initial instinct to put heat on it was dead wrong.  Ice.  She said get one of those massive ice packs and drape it over the area.

    Good luck!  In my case, it DID get worse with each pregnancy.  The ice definitely helped that, but not the other problems I developed from pregnancy #3.

    I managed mine during both pregnancies with regular osteopathic (like chiropractic but gentler - no cracking) adjustments and massage.  The massage was crucial.  Find yourself a good PN massage therapist (one who actually has advanced PN massage training).  Swimming (breast stroke with the whip kick with your legs) is really beneficial too.

    Right here with you!  I am going to see a chiropractor to see if that helps.

    Thanks ladies.....unfortunately I meant to put I'M NOT PG!!! LOL.

    I don't have a ticker going but figured you'd realize I wasn't pg. My bad. 

    Mine came back AFTER it went away, after I had DD. Like I have it right now and I'm not even pg or over-weight (15lbs above pre-pg weight). 

    This blows. At least if I were pg I'd get something GOOD out of it =D

    LOL.
