Any ideas how to relieve sciatic pain
I had lower back and sciatica issues before becoming pregnant. I had the steroid injections over a year ago. Kept me pretty good till now. I used to pop Advil but can't do that now. Any suggestions on how to relieve this burning in my leg? I assume I just have to deal with it. Just thought it wouldn't happen this early in my pregnancy. I see a chiro regularly. Just not sure how to take down the inflammation.
Thanks!

Any ideas how to relieve sciatic pain
I have heard sitting on a yoga ball helps w/ sciatica. I bought one once I found out I was pregnant! Haven't had to use it yet though.
Feel better!

Any ideas how to relieve sciatic pain
I have been seeing a chiro three times a week, every night he has me ice my butt (LOL) 15 minutes on, 30 minutes off at least three times. Before it got this bad I managed it with some yoga stretches, google the pigeon pose, I found that most helpful bc many of the poses I was not able to do b/c they involved laying on my back and I would get out of breath. Feel better!!

Re: Any ideas how to relieve sciatic pain
I have terrible sciatica as well and it usually kicks in when I'm on my feet all day (which is often). I've been doing a lot of stretching and have started exercising a bit again to strengthen my back. But at the end of the night when the pain is unbearable, I sit or lay on a heating pad. It's enough relief that I can still walk the next morning at least.

This. Stretch stretch stretch. ( I know..my answer for everything).
I stretched for about 15 min every night before bed for the last 10w or so and did prenatal yoga here and there. It also helped with getting leg cramps in the idle of the night.

A friend of mine did acupuncture for this and it really helped.
