Sciatica

[thewindbeneathmywings]

Does anyone have good ways to relieve sciatica? I'm just coming up to 29 weeks are really struggling. Shorting pains in my back, right hip and down my right leg. Not too bad in the morning but gradually getting worse throughout the day to not being able to put any weight on it in the evening 😭. Sleeping is ok if I sleep on that side putting weight on it.

Google sciatica stretches, there are plenty of Pilates / yoga type stretches that you can do to help. If you can also pick yourself up a spiky Pilates ball, they are a god send. You sort of sit on them on the sciatic nerve and wiggle it around a bit to help

A support belt could help, don't push trolleys or hoovers when you can avoid it, same for hoovering. Get out of car and bed with your knees together. Ice your lower back/the joint, take painkillers. And go see an osteopath or physio or masseuse.
