Fed up of this sciatica!!

[Millsss]

Hi ladies just generally here for a moan I guess!

I’m 31 weeks today and feeling fed up, from about 25 weeks I’ve had sciatica but in the last 3/4 weeks it’s got a lot worse where it shoots down my leg when I walk, I can’t remember the last time I had a full nights sleep and my midwife wasn’t great with advice about it this morning! Just wondering if there’s anything that helps you ladies, especially at night time?

I sleep pretty propped up, pillow under my back and in between my legs but that doesn’t seem to help anymore!!!!

Go for a massage, and physio.

Seeing a chiropractor 2 x a week

Also getting DH to massage around my whole leg

I found some great stretches for sciatica online which really helped so I recommend Google :)

Definitely go and see a physio.

I suffer from this generally. Google ‘piriformus muscle’
It presses on your sciatic nerve causing the pain. It’s basically deep within the glutes. But a physio can show you stretches to try and help relieve it. Horrible pain. You have my sympathies.
