Back/Sciatic pain

I've just gotta whine! My sciatic pain is so bad today I can hardly tolerate it! Mostly smack dab in the middle of my butt cheek. Nice huh? Heating pad and massage don't help. The only thing I think can help is ibuprofen and that's off limits when pregnant. Tylenol only masks the pain. Any suggestions on how to get this pain gone?

i have that same problem to where i have fallen to the floor and that was yesterday. it got so bad that if i tried doing house work it makes me feel stiff and then my right leg i cant move it and if i do it hurts so bad. for me iv tried to move on the opposite side of the pain and it never works for me. this is my 3rd baby and i never had this much problem before except when i was pregnant with my son then he kicked it and thats when it all began but with my second it never hurt what so ever and now its so bad.

Lay on the opposite side of the pain and that usually makes baby "get off" the nerve that's the only thing I've found to help for the majority of the time

Nothing I did helped. Mine hurt my right Burt cheek. It sometimes hurt so bad I couldn't walk. Nothing I did helped. Luckily the it quit hurting as my pregnancy progressed. The one time I asked my doctor she told me "all you can do is hope the baby moves".
