I have the same problem sometimes its so painful I can barely walk sometimes
Well I think it doesn't help that the pain is in the same spot as where I fell when I fell off a horse 9 years ago. Have had problems ever since but seems to be worse with the growing baby. Might talk to dr about it when I see him again but will try the heating pad. Thanks
I'm having prob with my sciatic nerve too! It's awful..it depends on the day and how the baby is laying as to how bad it is! Some days I walk really funny!! :-) I had this prob with my last baby too..my doc just told me I could take tylenol for it when I needed to....when its really bad I use a heating pad.
I have the exact same thing...its even on the right side too...it *****!! i just take tylenol all the time...sciatica is inflammation of the nerve...until it calms down...we're screwed since we cant take anti-inflammitorys :(
but...just know your not alone!! :)
I have back pain all the time. I use a warm moist heating pad that is a lot hotter than a regular heating pad and it loosens up the tightness. Maybe soaking in a tub of hot water. If your not pregnant you could try the salon pas patches. Hope you get to feeling better :)
