been told i have sciatica.. the pain in my lower back and bum cheak is awful i was in tears last night with it its that…

haha sounds a right tit id of told him staight as well @rachbump177 Xx

@babyboots, he was I was like erm you try growing a baby and competing for bodybuilder of the year 😂

@bump2016, speak with ur midwife tell her all ur signs like where the pain is coming from ect.. it may just be baby led funny.. try an ice pack where it hurts or a hot water bottle or get ur oh to rub where it hurts and take few paracetamol thats all there is for it.. but if it dosnt ease up and the midwife thinks its scatica she will refer you to ur doctor who will then put you onto someone else for physo @emz88lou22 they look nice but I've not been eating much latley just small meals as i always feel full lol Xx

on 3rd xx

@babyboots, how will I know if it is that and what can I do about it I'm in so much pain at the min don't want it getting any worse if i can help it xx

I got it from having fibro this my first back in two I'm eating my chicken wraps taking boo out then bed other half asleep on sofa bed I'm knackered moved all room around so bed gives me gap big enough to get my clothes xx

thats how mine started @bump2016 just keep an eye on it... if it turns to sciatica ul know hun as it takes ur breath away the pain is awful... and no way @rachbump177 what a prick he sounds tbh lifting weights is the last thing i feel like doing lol... and @emz88lou22 it is very painful never had it with my other two pregnancies even though my other daughter was spine to spine just like this little madam... every pregnancie is diffrent though Xx

I've started with pain in my bum cheek @babyboots xx

it's horrible has it years as well as fibromyalgia it's very painful putting me in bed weeks at time especially in winter xx

@babyboots, good luck my physio was a condescending prick if I'm honest, lol he quite clearly didn't grasp the idea of pregnancy & harped on and on about me going to the gym to lift weights. I was like hang on pal walking to the corner shop is an achievement for me right now as I'm anaemic xxx

awww hun =( Hopefully it will go away soon xx

yes its awful @zaralee71 as i said i didnt even no what it was all i knew is i can't stand the pain.. its horrible 😢 Xx

@rachbump177, thanks ill go and buy a tennis ball today I've also been booked in for physio.. its an awful pain.. I've searched online for cures but like you said only cure is when baby arrives and yes @xxtxx the pain is agony 😭😢 Xx

I had it a few years ago, I wasn't pregnant at the time. I couldn't move and got stuck on the sofa because of it, couldn't even sit up without crying out in pain. I feel for you, it's horrible! xx

Also tennis ball between the bed and the nerve may help xxx

I've had it for months Hun and I've even seen a physio for it unfortunately no cure until baby arrives but I've found couple of paracetamol when it's really horrendous helps to ease it @babyboots if you look online you'll find exercises to ease it but for me they made it worse! You can also get a support belt from eBay which may help xxx

paracetamol won't help, you need an anti inflammatory which we can't take 😭. It really is agony. x

it sounds just like what i have @xxtxx paracetamol just isnt helping at all.. my other half gives me a massage at night but only eases it for a second.. id never even heard of sciatica before.. but i wish it would bugger off lol x

I have this and it hurts all down my back, bum cheek and down to my big toe 😭 I do suffer normally but can't take naproxen which usually sorts it out. I have no advise on how relieve it though x
