Sciatica?‼️
Anyone else suffer/ed from sciatica while pregnant? What helped?
💥
Mine came on week 24 and now I'm at week 27 and have been to the ER because it's been crippling. The worst pain I've ever experienced.
🔪💊⛏
They put me on five days of steroids which proved unhelpful so I will *not* be doing that again especially for the baby's sake.
I was given narcotics which only helped 40% of the time and just barely took an edge off.
I stretch it frequently.
I take extra strength Tylenol.
I switch between movement and resting throughout the day.
I use a heating pad as often as I can.
I tried the BeActive pressure brace and it made it worse (yes, even after adjusting it properly and getting help with that).
Nothing is alleviating it.
My husband literally has to carry me to and fro in the evenings because it reaches such an extreme point by the end of the day.
I have never experienced so much pain; I have been nauseous and faint from the pain alone. I wake up multiple times a night and in-between I'm barely sleeping because my body is just dying.
📌‼️
Anything helps.
