Has anyone else had any terrible sciatic problems? I woke up last night with a terrible pain in my right side and called my dr. today and they told me that it's the baby laying on my sciatic nerve. And until the baby decides to move it's going to be painful. I've just been having cramps like all day b/c of this. Can anyone tell me anything more about this? it kind of freaks me out.
Re: Sciatic Pain?
I have commented on every sciatic pain post that has been on here so I will keep this one short and sweet.
Not walking on it. In pain for over 2 weeks. Tried everything. Couldn't sit, stand, bend, squat. Would take 15min to walk 5 feet.
Did acupuncture (4 needles in the hand) once. Walking on it after 5min. Bending/squating/jumping/etc...after about 15min. Needles in for 40min then taken out. Pain came back 30min later but not as severe. Next day....no pain but was sore. Day after that...no pain, not sore. Have been pain free since.
I highly recommned acupuncture. The stretching and everything wasn't working for me at all.
I had bad sciatic nerve pain for nearly 1 month. My Dr. told me to keep walking, she prescribed Physical Therapy.
It hurt like absolute hell--but has been feeling much better.
I had it w/ DS and having it with LO I hate it and it always happens at work and I walk quite alot and when that happens it turns out to be pretty difficult as we all know...
my dr w/ DS told my to just lay down on the opposite side the pain is on so the gravity can help reposition the baby....
