Sciatica

Rach276 · Jan 26th, 2009, 05:36 AM

OMFG OMG omg its soooo painful!!!!!!! Iv been getting pains in my back and right leg ever since I was about 2 months pregnant and its really hurt but last night was actually horrible. I couldnt move or anything without yelping and I couldnt sleep.
I got into a position that diddnt hurt too much and then dozed off then moved and woke myself up again.
Why have I got it??? Is there any point in going to the doctors?

I have something like that too babe, have terrible back ache and right leg pains too! had them for ages but recently they have started getting worse!
My mum said its cos i just sit around all the time and dont get very active, so for the next couple of weeks im gonna try having a walk every day and see if that helps, and sit with my back straight not sloughted

Hope you feel better soon hun x

see i've heard both.. i've heard sitting around all day can aggravate it, and doing too much can aggravate it.
i think it's one of those things, that if you're gonna get it, there may not be much you can do about it.
i just make my OH massage my back and butt cheek when it acts up!!
