Sciatica Pain Anyone?

Help....my right leg is KILLING me...it hurts to walk, but the worst part is i'm trying to go to sleep now and its impossible for me to sleep either on my right or left side due to severe pain.......i'm never gonna fall asleep tonight i have to sleep on my back propped up with pillows. Anyone have experience with this???
i'm 38 weeks today and i don't know how i'm gonna deal with this pain if it doesn't go away soon....

Re: Sciatica Pain Anyone?

I'm not help but I know how you feel. I've had severe sciatic pain this whole pregnancy.

I have pain shooting from my back to my hip and down into my knee, mostly on my right side, but sometimes both. I can't stand or sit for long periods of time. I have trouble walking and sometimes I scream when I'm driving since I can't change my position.

Maybe your Dr has a suggestion. I'm sure he'll be more helpful than me. Sorry I'm no use

The only advice I can try to give you is to put pillows under your legs.
I had it so bad I stopped work early but had it since I was 4- 5 months.
Last month I could barely walk it hurt so bad. Now I feel it if Im standing for awhile or in one spot, like doing dishes.

thanks girls..that awful pain actually subsided..i'm so grateful..now i'm back to the regular pain i have when i walk, but i'm almost immune to that since i've had it for the last 13 weeks.....Wow, second pregnancies are rough!!!

Re: Sciatica Pain Anyone?

i have a degree of it..i have lower pelvic pain and lower back pain. They thought it was round ligament paint but i just recently found out it's because the baby is breech. Everything i do is a struggle, i thought second time around wouldn't be as bad! I'm 29 weeks.
