3rd Trimester

sciatic pain help please!

I'm sure this pain is coming from me being pregnant and lugging around my 30lb toddler and it is killing me!  Any tips for relief?  Thanks!

  • Chiropractor and Ice Gel Pack!  My chiropractor had my sciatic pain gone after one adjustment!

  • i've been having the same problem, and picking up my 25lb son isnt helping either - i actually feel like im getting stabbed in my upper thigh. i talked to my dr and she said some tylenol and a little exercise that's supposed to help is: get down on your hands and knees and arch your back up slowly and release back down slowly. didnt work for me though =[
  • Maybe try a heating pad, but also seriously look into a chiropractor - I had wicked sciatica when I was pg with my DS, and this pg I've been going to a chiro since my second trimester and I've barely had any at all. I was a total skeptic of chiropractics, too, until mine made the pain go away, ha ha ha. hth

  • I just made an appt with a Chiropractor!  I'm keeping my fingers crossed he can help me!  I'll update after the appt!  Thanks ladies!

  • I've had it too. It's gotten a lot better since I left my job though since I was on my feet and walking the whole time. Stretching and exercise can help sometimes but in my case the only thing that helps is to stay off the leg.
