an ice pack is going to be better for inflammation. heat would make it more uncomfortable.

thank you @carmaslinsam @ambermaylee @babystump16 and @inkedmomma I'll try it and see if it helps!

I had the same problem. My chiropractor said to use a heating pad with a damp towel on it. It really helps.

sciatic nerve, lay on the side that isnt hurting and take tylenol. i had it almost everyday in my second trimester but doing what i said helping a lot. mine eventually went away once i hit my third trimester.

sounds like sciatic nerve! try some tylenol and a heating pad!

Epsom salt bath, prenatal massages, getting adjusted by a chiropractor, physical therapy. That's everything I've tried, it didn't work for me but maybe it will for you. My daughter is on a nerve and won't move.
