Sciatic nerve pain anyone?

jamaicanbride · February 2012

I have been having some zingers down my butt and legs and pressure on my lower back. But last night i got up to pee around 3 am and could hardly move my legs. Anyone have any tricks to relieve this pain?

Stretches, massage, chiropratic care, yoga, hot compresses, Tylenol and patience.

It sucks.

I had a pregnancy massage the other day and he focused on this nerve... It helped and I did not have pain for about a week.

I am also now going to the ciropractor...

Both babies before this one thought sitting on that nerve was the best place ever, especially in the middle of the night when I had to pee. Many nights I simply crawled to the bathroom lol. Then it was back to bed on my side, I found it helped to keep a couple pillows between my knees.... I never could find a long term relief though so I am hoping this time around it isn't as persistent

Good luck mama!

I JUST talked to my doctor about this lsat week. Mine was so bad i had to crawl up the stairs one night!!! My doctor told me to lay on one side and lift one leg ( like scissors) it should help to stretch out that mussle. Also, a belly support should help. Walgreens and cvs sell them i believe. GOOD LUCK!!
