Positive Outcome?

I have been having what I think (and one doctor thinks) is sciatic pain since about 10 days postpartum. My quality of life has tanked. I think this has pushed me into PPD. I was doing so great prior and now I can’t leave the house without a production.

My questions….. has anyone had sciatic pain flare up after labor, but not immediately after? How long did it last? What did you do to relieve it? Do you think this is epidural related?

I am trying home remedies but it’s not improving. I went to one doctor who didn’t even touch me, deemed it sciatica, and sent me a bill. I need this to go. Or at least improve enough I can walk! I wouldn’t think this is epidural related because the pain isn’t from the spot where I was injected (that’s slightly sore) and it didn’t start immediately after the epidural wore off after labor.

I just want some positive outcome stories because I’m legit crying every day scared to death this is going to be my life. 😭😭😭
