new symptoms... any of you?

cmcc5 · June 2012

okay 2 new things happened to me... and it seems really too early for these, maybe im crazy.

1. I got sharp pain under my rib cage and left me gasping for air.

2, possibly my ciatic nerve is pinched? My MIL says thats what it is, on my lower back down my butt.

I have no advice on #1, but #2 is definitely a possibility for sciatic pain. Pregnancy loosens the ligaments in your pelvis (which is why pregnant ladies get that sway back look after a while) and sometimes that can pinch your sacro-iliac (SI) joint or cause pinches in the sciatic nerve. I had sciatica starting around 7-8 weeks last pregnancy and even though I miscarried at 11 weeks, I was left with some residual pain, mostly around my left knee. It started back up for me full-force last week or so, and I started physical therapy for it on Friday so hopefully it won't get as bad. As a nurse who spends 12 hours a day on my feet, I can't afford to be sidelined by sciatica. I just started some stretches and exercises, so hopefully it'll get better or at least not get worse.

1) does it feel like the cramp you get when you've been running too hard? Because I've had that the past 2 days and it leaves me gasping for air too

I think I have cramps like what your describing sometimes first thing in the morning. They only lasted a second so I didn't worry about it.

I have cramping that I didn't have before and now I'm really tired. Sucks!

Yes! And it came out of nowhere while I was sitting down.
