Bad Sciatica Pain

I've been suffering from bad sciatica pain for the past week (I've never had this before in my life), with today being the worst day yet! Walking is extrememly painful and nothing is helping. For those of you who have had the displeasure of suffering from this, please help- what if anything relieved the pain??

TIA

Marie-you know I have this-I am sure I've complained to you about it!

Put a pillow under your knees when you sleep. That will keep your body adjusted to take pressure off of the sciatic nerve. Also try a hot shower. You are reaching the end, so there is not much more I can think of!

Love ya girl

I had it bad with my first... I actually ended up going out on disability and had to go to a Physical Therapist 3x a week. They did magnet therapy and some exercises... nothing really helped. It was just the way my body adjusted to the baby. It didn't last forever, maybe 3 months.... sorry I wasn't more help...
