Pelvic pain/sciatica? Getting harder to walk

Question

I'm going to speak to my Dr about this this week but I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing this. My right side of my pelvis literally feels like it's breaking in half. I have to like drag my right leg when I walk because lifting it to step increases the pain, and then I'm also getting a pain down the back of my right pelvis and into my right hip/leg which I have been told is sciatica. It hurts when I lay down, when I roll over,  when I stand. Idk what to do. I've had it for a while and my Dr just told me to use a belly band but there's nothing they can do, which I understand,  but I'd like to know WHY it's just that side, and it's concerning how much it effects my walking, etc. Anyone else experience this? I'm 35+2

Answer

I currently have the same pain on my left side. If I stand for too long or am too active during the day, I’m down and out and can hardly move because it’s so painful to try and move my leg. I have yet to find a solution but I try to stretch any chance I get, I have a massage gun I run on my back, hip and leg. I would see a chiro but I am trying to limit the potential covid exposure. I also just saw a rec to sit on two tennis balls taped together and roll your hurt over it to help.

Answer

Try seeing a chiropractor. Your insurance probably covers it. I see one throughout pregnancy and it makes my hip/pelvic pain so much better. One side hurts more than the other because you put your weight on that side because the other side is "off". Once adjusted you'll feel like a new person and pain free.

Answer

Also, I've been having the pain on my right side and basically she said it's because my left side is so tight that my right side is trying to work harder to take the pressure off so its causing me more pain.

Answer

If you can afford it, find a webster certified  chiropractor. I have the exact same thing and I get adjusted weekly and it is the best! It has helped me alot especially with having to chase my 2 toddlers around.

Answer

Yep, I get it in my right side too. Not so bad that I can’t walk but definitely very painful. From what I understand it’s pretty normal. Sitting on a yoga ball and doing hip circles, pelvic tilts, and kegels has helped me a lot. I’m 35+3 and have been having this pain for about a month
