In so much pain is it siatica?

[Mylasmummy2102]

Hey so 21 weeks tomorrow and I'm in agony I can't get out of bed with out ridiculous pain down my lower right side of my back,bum and leg I've tried getting out the other side and it's so painful 😣

I've had a pain for weeks now in the same place but it's got so much worse!! This is my third baby and didn't suffer with my first so I'm wandering if this sounds like siatica?

I'm speaking to midwife tomorrow so will tell her x

Yep sounds exactly like sciatica. Keep your knees together getting out of bed and get someone to help you up if you can, I also found sleeping with extra pillows on a bit of incline helped, not getting up so far then.

Yes def sciatica. I found walking helped the pain and hot baths/water bottles placed on it. Also do stretches you can find on UTube. I had it for months

Thank you both I did think it was o usually walk a lot when I'm at work but had the week off so not done as much and it's definitely worse this week!

So painful at night it wakes me up when I move. Thank you I'll have a look on you tube tomorrow xx

Recommend a TENS machine for the pain. Not sure what exercises you can do when pregnant but midwife should help and a physio. It does sound like sciatica. Also SI joint dysfunction might be a player. I have had both.
