Hey All
I have just begun my 28th week! I am very excited although I do have a real pain in the 'butt' going on. I am finding that I am getting rather moderate to severe lower back pain. Mainly found just to the left of my tailbone and last night it began to radiate down my left leg. It is getting worse esp. in the evening and just about immobilizes me. I am guessing that it is ciatica starting up (I have been told this is common in late pregnancy cause of where the baby is laying). Do you agree and if so do you have any ideas to relieve it. Can it get so painful that I will have to go off from work on early sick leave? Who else is experiencing this? Will a chiropractor do any good since they can not crack your lower back or should I just get regular messages? Any advice would be great!
Thanks a ton. I appreciate it.
