sciatica???

Anyone have suggestions on how to survive severe sciatica pain in 3rd tri? I had some achiness earlier on but these stabbing pains I've had today are dibilitating. I'll be walking and they freeze me in my steps and my take my breath away...  These shots of pain are unbearable.

    Unfortunately there isn't a lot that helps. I tried ice/heat therapy 3 times a day, and it helped a little. Good luck!

    You may want to try looking into a chiropractor...or even go in for a consultation to see if it is something you would be interested in...the relief is gradual, but if you go a couple of times a week you could possibly see a big difference.  Another is acupuncture...

    I'm in the same boat- to the point where it hurts soo bad you instantly go down. I started seeing a chiropractor in Needham and its really helping. I can walk again! haha, it does take time but really does help and its not pricey. Some insurance companies cover it but if your OOP she is cheap. Let me know if you want her info.

    I'll 3rd the rec. to see a chiropractor.  Dr. Karen Moriarty in Northboro is wonder and can also do the Webster technique for pregnancy.

     At home you could try to massage the area w/ St. John's Wort Oil - available online or at Whole Foods.

    I also started seeing a chiropractor in Needham and can't believe I didn't do it sooner.  I was really hesitant at first but it has made such a difference!  I have only gone a few times so I am hoping it will only get better but it has been great so far.  I still get occasional pain throughout the day but it's mostly if I over do something and other times the pain is much more manageable.  I highly recommend going to one!
