Sciatica
I'm in SO much pain. Yesterday afternoon I got a headache about 4:30PM that lasted into the night. I swear it felt like a huge hangover (and I was totally hydrated so I don't know where it came from).
Then, I pulled my entire left side - I'm completely limping. It's like my left butt check is not working with the rest of my body - you should have seen me commuting this morning to NYC 
I can barely get around. Can I take anything? I don't know what to do and if this gets worse - how can I go through labor if half my body isn't working? Help!

Re: Sciatica
I have the same horrible pain on my left side going into my butt cheek. Can you do stretches? That sometimes helps me. My OB suggusted doing swimming laps - um hellooo its MARCH!
I hope you feel better. Sometimes I take Tylenol.

Re: Sciatica
I had this same pain. I went for a pre-natal massage and it felt soooo much better.

Re: Sciatica
I have sciatica too. Sometimes I try a heating pad. You can take Tylenol, but it's never helped me. I just had a massage on Sunday and it helped, but I've had massages in the past that did nothing for me. What really helps me the most is to just rest. Whenever I do too much or do too much walking it REALLY gets bad.

Re: Sciatica
Stretch and massage. Be careful with stretching though while PG. Your joints are more loose so you don't want to overstretch.
