Sciatica issues?

Question

I'm 15 weeks and I started feeling pain in my right butt cheek, hip, knee, and inner groin area. I've been feeling pain in my tail bone for about two weeks. Is this the baby on my sciatic nerve? What did any of you do to make the pain lessen since I know it won't just go away... I even tried a yoga headstand to get the baby to move but not sure if it worked lol I've heard from friends their doctor made them go to physical therapy and gave them pain medicine. I'd rather deal with this without the two so any help ❤️

Answer

The only thing that has helped me is seeing a chiropractor twice a week. I never went to one before pregnancy but it got to the point that I couldn't walk without shooting pain. He also recommended that I get a belly band for support and to help with my posture while pregnant. I just ordered it today so hopefully that helps too!

Answer

Try some prenatal yoga, YouTube some free classes! :)

Answer

I had the worst sciatica!! It started around 8 or 9 weeks and finally went away around 15 weeks. There were many days I could not move without bursting into tears because of the pain. I never did find anything to actually make it go away. It just stopped randomly... Not sure if she moved or changed positions or what...

Answer

I used a heated pad at night that was body-length. Mine has gone away for the most part, unless I've just gotten used to the discomfort caused by it but my doctor had written out a referral for me to see a prenatal physical therapist if I chose to. It didn't seem like my cup of tea but had the pain not diminished, I probably would have gone for it. Other than that, Tylenol COULD help or it may not do anything at all. Some days it would work for me and others, not so much. Feel better soon! 💕

Answer

I'm not sure about what you described but sciatic pain usually feels like a shooting/pulling pain that travels from one side of your lower back down your buttock and the back of your thigh. I had it when I was pregnant with my son but I think I was further along than I am now. I'm currently 16w1d. It always helped me to stay as "straight" as possible because bending put additional pressure on the nerve. At work I would recline my chair back as far as it would go and put my feet up on a box or something under my desk. At home I watched TV laying in bed instead of sitting on the couch. It would come and go I guess depending on what position the baby was in. My doctor told me there was really nothing I could do about it!

Answer

If you're feeling pain on the inner thigh it's not your sciatica nerve. It's probably another nerve or even muscle tightness in your adductors but without an evaluation it's hard to know. I'd recommend therapy now. It's harder to keep things in place the farther along you get.

Answer

I hate to say it but nothing help my pain, 33 weeks and it's still on and off bothering me. Our boy must think it's a rope swing or something
