I can not walk today ****UPDATE****

I was supposed to go to work today and when I got out of bed my right leg gave away Chat Icon
I've been trying to put weight on my right leg and the pain is excruciating!
I think it's sciatica but I never remembered the pain being this bad!! I always had a problem once in a while before I got pregnant....
Sorry for TMI but the pain is mostly in my right butt cheek preventing me standing on my right leg Chat Icon
Has anyone experienced pain in that area and was told it was sciatica? I tried calling my Dr and had to leave a message and unfortunately the Chiro someone recommended is closed on Sunday

*****UPDATE*****

So I just got back from the Chiro and he is great!!! What I thought was sciatica turned out to be nerve and joint pain
Chat Icon
He said a few adjustments and I should start to feel better! The best thing is he does not "crack" you he used a fancy tool!
I'm starting to feel a little better now....still need help getting up and down but hopefully I can do it on my own soon

Thanks again ladies!

I don't have experience with this, but I hope your doctor calls you back and you feel better!

Thank you! I hope you feel better too because I saw your post about restless leg and I had that a long time ago and the only thing that helped was a hot bath Chat Icon

I had horrible sciatica pain when I was pregnant. Sitting on a tennis ball helped me as we'll as an excerise ball. My sister in laws friend is a massage therapist and she used to take her hands and rub on both sides (like the top of your behind but below the hip if that makes sense) and rub while shaking her hands back and forth quickly and it would make me feel like a new person. Feel better, this pain sucks!

Thanks so much!! I'm gonna try that because regular Tylenol is not helping Chat Icon

I'm not sure if the Chiro can help relieve the pain right away so I'm going to try some home remedies for now

A pregnancy massage may help as well. A friend of mine went and she said it helped to. With the tennis ball I would sit on it right where the pain was and it would hurt at first but would feel better after a it
