Sciatica - it makes me sad

So the past few weeks I have had twinges of back pain. Well at the time, I thought they were terrible - but now that I have full sciatica - I realize they were just twinges. My goodness, I thought I had a high pain tolerance, but seriously I have cried about 5 times since it really started on Saturday.

I bought a belly support band - which has helped. The baby hates it because she can't sit in her favorite spot (right on my pelvis which has caused the problem in the first place). I guess it is kind of funny that as soon as I take of the band I feel her settle right back into that spot. I can just picture her going "ahh, that's the spot!".

The sad thing (besides the pain, leg numbness and knee buckling) is I think the pain is raising my sugars and my BP.  Oh well. 6 weeks to go at the most. I can do anything for 6 weeks right?

    Hope you feel better! I have suffered from sciatica on and off. Try pelvic tilts/cat-cow in yoga... helps to relieve some of the pain for me. Good luck - we are almost there!

    Sitting on my exercise ball last night was instant relief for my back pain. It's the worst when I've been laying down and need to get up :( It sucks, but hang in there!

    Have you thought about going to Physical Therapy for it? I know it may sound like a silly suggestion, but one of my best friends is on her 3rd pregnancy (hopefully 1st baby) and had it early on with her 2nd pregnancy, and now in this one (she is 10 weeks and some change) and they have her going to physical therapy and it is helping. (And she was diagnosed with it being Sciatica)

    I am hoping (since I have only had it a few days) that it passes soon when she drops. Please let that be the case!

     

    And I need to pull out my exercise ball too!

    This.  I also suffer from sciatica and it really helps to move, stretch, and breath deeply. I also use a heating pad (on the lowest setting) quickly followed by an ice pack.  The combination of the two really does help.  Feel good!
