Sciatica relief?
So I posted about the muscle pain in my butt  Does anyone know how I can help to relieve it?
I think it is because maybe I am putting more weight on my left side bc I am off balance?? Should I try to favor my right side??
Any suggestions would be awesome TY

Re: Sciatica relief?
The baby is probably favoring a side, not you. Wherever he is laying he's probably on that nerve, good times right?!
What really helped me was 2 tylenol and a heating pad for about 20 mintues. Then I would get up and do some lunges since the muscle was loose.
Hope you feel better

Re: Sciatica relief?
i drive around with the seat heater on in my car... i don't own a heating pad but i imagine that would work just as well (if not better)

Re: Sciatica relief?
Definitely a heating pad will help, but when I was pregnant with DS, I had all kinds of issues including sciatica pain and I also found out why I was waddling, my hips were displaced from the pregnancy.
You should ask your insurance company if they will cover any physical therapy appts. for you. After I left that physical therapy , I felt like a new person. My OB had recommended this and also had given me a physical theraist to go to. If you need the name, let me know.
Hope you feel better

Put your leg in a figure 4 position on your knee and bend forward into it. This will stretch the muscle and alleviate some of the pain. Try it, it really works!

Re: Sciatica relief?
the only thing that helped me was time. mine was really bad for about a week and then it eased off. nothing I did helped it for that week. I have heard that certain stretches can help the baby change position or ease the pain on your nerve. hope you feel better soon!
