I'm pretty sure I pinched my sciatic nerve picking A up. We're supposed to leave to go camping. What are the odds that this will feel less like dying in 30 minutes or so?

Also, please say I don't need to go to urgent care. Als9 I can't take good drugs because I'm pregnant. Fuck.

If you do have sciatica, the odds of the pain magically disappearing in 30 minutes isn't likely But hopefully it's not sciatica and you're feeling better soon. Have fun camping!

That's what I was afraid of. I got a really sharp pain when I picked her up, and now it's shooting down my leg anytime I walk. But sitting isn't comfortable either. lol

It's slightly better than when it first happened. I think DH and A are going to go ahead and I'll join them tomorrow after I've tried to rest the pain away.

Thanks!

How pregnant are you! Sometimes you just need the baby to move. I had one bad night and H and I were supposed to have a date night. She finally moved and it was bearable. It is so painful though, I feel you. You think it's fine and then take one step, and nope!

I had sciatica pain when I was pregnant. My chiro has me sit in a chair, put a pillow between my knees and push in on the pillow with my thigh muscles. I swear I could feel the nerve move. I did 5 reps several times a day and it made a huge difference. Maybe google sciatica exercises?

I'm only like, five minutes pregnant. lol. The only reason I mentioned it at all is that it limits the medication I can take for pain.

I will go ahead and google exercises though. Thanks!
