sciatica kicked my ass today

[speckledfrog]

Literally and figuratively!  We were walking around the zoo and on the way back to the car I thought I was going to cry.   I never had it this badly the first time and up until now I've just had a few zingers and maybe a little bit of an ache from time to time.  Today I had stabbing pains down my thigh and then lingering stabbing pains when I sat down.  Brutal.  Anyone want to commiserate?

I had it really bad around thanksgiving. H got good at massaging my butt cheeks. I switched from walking to swimming, and now I wear a pregnancy support belt if I know I'm going to be on my feet a lot, and it's virtually gone away.
