  • It sounds like sciatic nerve pain, I had very similar pain and found relief with a chiropractor 2-3x/week to adjust my sacrum... Definitely run it past your provider though!

  • Sciatic pain for sure...I've been going through this on and off for the past few weeks.
  • Def. sciatica. I've had it since I was like 20 weeks when I woke up thinking I had somehow ripped open my leg. Try not to lay on it, hot baths are your friend, walking helps ease the pain but don't overdo it. I hear massage helps too.
  • Sciatica. I've had it since week 16. Stretch a lot. Have your hubby massage your booty
  • If  you can still bend low enough, grab your ankles (or calves, or however high you need to go!) and just stand like that a bit - I find that a good 'stretch'. 
  • Thanks everyone I am deffi tally going to speak with my Dr and see if she can or will refer me somewhere
