Sciatica and pregnancy

[heartburn888]

Had sciatica on and off for the past few years but seemly got worse since I became pregnant.

Any tips on combatting I’m currently writhering in pain in bed as I can’t lay flat and my selfish dick of a partner won’t give me a back rub. It helps if I sit up but I’m fecking tired

If you Google online you can find instructions for gentle stretches for sciatica which are suitable for pregnancy which really helped me :)

Thank you I will give it a go! I have been using some stretches I found on google but they just don’t need to be cutting the mustard anymore.

Do you think a tens will help?

On our trust you can self refer to physio, so do look into that. I was given a support belt and exercises but still ended up on crutches by the end. I went to a mobility store and got myself an adjustable back rest for bed which helped a bit. Also, lots of warm bags with magnesium salt. And tell your dp to stop being a selfish arse

I’ll get him back for this 😂
