Sciatica pain anyone?

[papie]

I never had it with my other pregnancies. It started a couple of days ago on the left side and is killing me. Tonight us the worst, I can barely walk. I did some clean up and putting away the Christmas tree and all that so the fatigue accentuated it I think.
Am I screwed for the next 3 months? I am 27 weeks. will it go away? Obviously I am asking for your experiences, not Internet doctor diagnosis ;-)

I've only had that kind of pain twice but both times I used a Thermacare heating pad on my lower back/bum and it helped a little. It's no joke though - very painful!

Mine was SO bad from 27ish weeks-30ish. The last couple of weeks have been a lot better. There is hope!

I'm right there with you. Prenatal massage helped some.

Good to know! I have a GC for one, I will call this week.

Massage and heat both helped me.

I had bad sciatica for about 4 weeks, then it went away (now I have rib and pelvic pain, so don't be too jealous). A pregnancy support belt really helped.

Massage and chiros can help.
