Sciatic Nerve

So for over 24hrs now I have had the worst sciatic nerve pain. The last time I had it was in my first tri and Dr basically said the only thing I could do was drink water and stretch. She also recommended a maternity belt, which I wear to work. Problem is I'm in tears when I try to do any stretching. I've drank plenty of water, even tried a heating pad (which worked only temporarily). Anyone have any better ideas? I'm a dog groomer and it's our busiest time of year. If I can't get any relief, this weekend is going to kill me. :(

I had to use a heating pad for most of the day and by the time I went to bed the pain was gone and it hasnt been back since. I would try heat one more time for at least a few hours and see if it helps! Sorry you are in so much pain :(

My husband has sciatica (from a different problem, obviously) and his neuro tells him ice and cold is better for nerve pain.

You can take tylenol and see a chiropractor. That is the only way I get any relief from mine.

Thanks. If it doesn't get any better tomorrow I'll check out a chiropractor.

I would see a physical therapist. They can show you some stretches to help.  My husband is one and I started having pain in first trimester.  He did some stretches and couple weird things a few times, I started sleeping with a pillow between my legs and knock on wood, it hasn't come back.  Of course there's plenty of time.  I also started watching my posture much more. 

So...this is my bra!

I have been dealing with mine for weeks now. It hasn't gone away, just feels better for a bit. Im doing heat and stretches. Its bad enough some days I can't walk. Im going to try and get in to see a chiropractor next week while my inlaws are here and can help with my kids.

I recommend the Tylenol route... Either way it sucks, I had it really bad with DD and this pregnancy it has started already. I feel for ya!
