  • Whats that? Ive never heard of it
  • I do but haven't had much problems with it. Before I got pregnant I was in bed for five months could not move! Sorry its the worst pain in the world :(
  • Oh yesss!! Its so painful. Sry u have to go through it. Ive had it before the pregnancy and it got worse now. My ob and a specialist said id have to stick it through till the baby comes. Massages do help. I get free massages from a friend who does physical therapy and a cousin whos a liscenced massuse.
  • Siatica is when the baby (or just the whole uterus itself) is putting pressure on your Siatic nerve causing shooting pains to go down thru your buttcheek into the back of your thigh....sometimes it can go all the way down your leg. There is nothin you can do about it either, you just gotta wait for the baby to move. I can't even walk up or down stairs! If I do I gotta walk like a 3 year old one leg only (I can't use right then left then right then left like normal people). I have a SUV and I actually had to tie a long string to a step stool because I can't lift my leg to get in, otherwise I scream out vulgar words like I got Terets Syndrome if I don't use the step stool...so I use the step stool to get up into the truck then I pull the stool up by the string and put it in the passenger seat. I'm miserable and its only gonna get worse the more weight I put on.
  • I have such painful sciatica i know excatly how u feel I've been driven to tears. The best solution I've found is laying on your back and elevating your legs to pull you butt up about 3-4 inches off the ground so it relieves the pressure off the irritated nerve. Try a couch with your legs over the armrest or on the floor with your but against the couch and your legs up on the seat. Hope it works!
  • I feel ur pain. Had it before due to old back injury and now its horrible. Yesterday it was both legs at one time. Just laid in the bed and cried.
