Sharp pain in buttock?! think im crazy lol

sweetchild · Apr 6th, 2012, 08:52 AM

So this is my first pregnancy and I am 13 weeks along this Monday. I had this pain when i would lie down and then get back up again, it was a sharp uncomfortable pain at first. This past Tuesday at work we had a team building where we had to walk for 31 mins (should have been longer but there was running and fast walking to finish it) Since that day the pain has gotten worse to the point i squeal in pain sometimes when i walk or get off the couch. It feels as tho someone is stabbing my buttock w a knife and just yesterday it started to somewhat travel down my leg.
I guess my question would be am I crazy and should I make a visit to the er? I have an appointment on the 10th for our first ultrasound and the 20th with our baby doctor. My oh thinks I need to get it checked out asap while I think there isn't much er can do about it. Its just starting to get more and more uncomfortable.

You are not crazy! I had this pain and i also had it with my last pregnancy. Now that I think about it, the pain has been gone for about a week now! lol. I think I had the pain for at least 2/3 weeks

Mine did not go down my legs though, maybe the top of my leg, but I know it is really sore when you try to turn or something, it totally catches you off guard!

Even with my last pegnancy It didnt last too long...for me that is, but if you feel you want to go see someone about it then by all means go.

It just totally dawned on me there that my pain has gone...how weird lol, better not jinx myself! x

Yip does sound like sciatica. I've been having this on and off too- not pleasant.

Definately sounds like sciatica - go and see your doctor if you're worried. hope you feel better soon - it can quite literally be a pain in pregnancy!

Hi. Sciatica isn't a diagnosis just a term for leg pain. There can be different causes. From what you say i'd guess you had a piriformis spasm. Have a warm bath and do some gentle stretches. Hug knees to chest, hug knee to opposite shoulder and do a piriformis, glut stretch. If you google piriformis stretch you will find a pic. Basically lie on your back with your knees bent. Put one ankle on the opposite knee, dropping the knee down. A but like a finger of 4. Then thead your arm though and grasp the thigh of the bent knee and gently bring the legs towards you.

It's nothing to be concerned about. I would start pregnancy yoga though.
