sciatica

Has anyone else had sciatica pain when pregnant or not? And what do you recommend for relief? My left leg has been hurting like a sharp pain with tingling and numbness off and on. I don't know what to do to help since Tylenol didn't help...any help or suggestions would be great! Thanks

I'm 19 weeks and I know exactly how you feel, I asked my doctor and he said there isn't much that can be done. Usually a visit at the chiropractor helos but being pregnant it's something we cannot do for safety reasons. I personally find that a nice warm bath helps a bit and my pregnancy pillow to sleep in also does. Good luck x

For my sciatic pain. A heating pad on the lowest level alternating on and off every ten minutes on my lower back helps. I also got a belly support band from target that helps a lot.
