sciatic nerve pain when sitting on the porcelain throne...

It seems like 5-10 seconds after sitting on the toilet I start getting sciatica.  And if I try to push #2 it really hurts my back!  So I just avoid going #2...which starts a whole problem of its own....I just don't remember it hurting to sit on the toilet for a short amount of time my last pregnancy.....

Am I alone in this one?

Re: sciatic nerve pain when sitting on the porcelain throne...

  • No idea if its sciatica or not but I am having a similar problem! It causes a charlie horse type pain in my butt, lower back and thigh that double me over - especially when trying to push to go number 2. NOT fun.

  • I sometimes get a nerve pain in my inner thighs, even if I'm just peeing. It's the same pain I get randomly while walking. Not sure if it's the same thing as you, but sounds similar.

    I dont think your is the Sciatic nerve. I get a similar cramp like pain in the area of my groin regularly, all the way down to my knee sometimes. Standing, walking, going pee... It is the groin muscle, and drinking more water, eating a banana every day seems to be helping. Maybe thats what you are feeling Purpletulip?

    however, the OP and additional posts are very typical of a scaitic reaction. Have you S/O, Dh... someone, massage your butt muscles, lower back, and all the way down the back of your legs into the feet. It should help relieve it a bit.

  • Do some prenatal back stretches and stretch the back of your legs in the morning and periodically throughout the day.  It will make a world of difference... I just did it this morning and I feel 100 times better.
