Back pain! Shooting down my right side. What is this?

Tlg81

I'm only 22 wks & have noticed a sharp pain on my right side of back. It is on the lower part & shoots down to my leg. I find if I take my weight off my right foot for a minute and then apply weight to it again it almost feels as if I can't even stand that the side hurts so bad. Does anyone else go through this? I know my lil girl is beached right now & her feet are on my bladder, is there anyway she could be hitting nerves? Could this be fromworking on my feet 10 hours a day? Do I need too see dr.? Is there something I can do to improve this?

I don't know the answer to this but it wouldn't hurt to ask Dr

Sounds like sciatica. The nerve that runs down that side prob has pressure from your growing uterus. I have it too and doc said nothing will relieve it until the baby is born sucks try resting but honestly nothing has helped me

I have the same probles your siatic nerve gets pinched hurts like crazy. Ice and warm baths help some.

Stretching can also help!

Sciatica and labor is the only true and complete relief... I have it two during my first pregnancy and now my second as well UGH! Sorry lovey
