Sciatica?

AquaDementia · Nov 8th, 2007, 21:32 PM

My dr. told me that I probably have this.
Has anyone experienced this? Not sure if I should request a referal from the doctor to see a physiotherapist.
Thanks!

p.s. now that I have been reading more on it, I think it actually might be Pelvic Girdle Pain...

What are the symptoms of PGP?

The pain is often one sided and may be concentrated in the buttock area. It may appear to jump from side to side or be accompanied by a general back pain or Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD). It can send shooting pains into your buttocks or down the back of your legs. If the pain is accompanied by pins and needles or numbness and extends further than your knee, it may be sciatica rather than PGP. You may also have pain in your hips. One or both of your legs may feel very weak and you may not be able to lift your legs, particularly when lying down.
