Sciatic Nerve

[liamnsean]

OMG...has anybody else had trouble with their sciatic nerve? It just started over the last day or so and it is a killer! I keep getting a stabbing pain in my lower back/upper backside.

Any suggestions for relief?


(this is going to be a long two months if this keeps up!!!)

Yes, the last couple weeks it has kicked in and my butt aches and my legs and knees sometimes I think mine is so bad now because of all the walking and stuff I do at work.

I found these exercises to try. They look like nice gentle stretches, so you might get some relief.
I feel better mentally when there's something I can do about a condition, rather than just suffer, so I usually try all the exercise stuff.
Good luck and I hope you both feel better.

I've had trouble with this since week 8!!!! Sometimes it even hurts just to stand up or turn over in bed. If it's really painful now, should I be worried that it's going to get worse? Especially as I'm not really carrying around any extra weight. Should i speak to my GP or midwife about it?
