I'm 21wks pregnant, and my midwife told me on Thursday that I have sciatica- (personally I think the symptoms more closely match pelvic girdle pain), and most days I'm in agony. I've been carrying on going into work as my line manager tries to make us all feel guilty about the fact that we're short staffed, but by the end of the day the pain is excrutiating and I find it really hard to walk/drive home etc etc. Although I work 37.5hrs a week, she's constantly making hints about me doing overtime as there's "no-one else volunteering". I also have a four year old daughter to look after, am not sleeping etc etc, and so far I've not done any, but she keeps on hinting...
Has anyone else had any similar experiences/ got any advice. Also, would it be appropriate to ask for a doctors sicknote for the PGP pains? I work in a doctors surgery, so I'm also worried whether my bosses will think it's a skive if I go off??
