Sciatica in pregnancy

Lately I get such sharp electric pains I lost balance in my leg and can’t walk properly. I mentioned to the doctor but he said since I am 37/38 weeks sciatica should go away with delivery and PT could help after.

I have tried stretches, walking, resting…it just seems to be getting worse!? Hard to chase after my toddler too :(

Anyone else have it this bad and seen anything that helped improve it? Trying to last 2 more weeks but it’s so hardwired

Got horrible sciatica at the moment to the point where I’m having issues going to the toilet.

A quick google has scared me. Anyone else had this? Losing control and then stuck 🫣😵‍💫

Struggling to walk without waddling in pain and only 17 weeks!!

I am 23 weeks I have the worse pain in my buttock area it’s like a shock wave has hit my nerve when I walk or move . This is not like a pulled muscle this is like a damage nerve. I am in a lot of pain it's debilitating and causing me to not walk long periods of time . The sciatica has hit my nerves . I am currently taking gabapentin to knock some of the inflammation out. I have to move in June into my new place and don’t know what to do

I recently took a trip to the Emergency Room because I was in excruciating pain and was unable to walk or put any weight on my left leg. I was having an electric pain shooting through my body that almost brought me to my knees. They ended up doing an MRI that showed a marrow edema in my left sacrum near the SI joint. I was given some physical therapy exercises, but I have had no improvement in the last 3 weeks. It has been miserable to do almost anything. I’ve been limited to the use of a wheelchair to even get around my house. This is my second pregnancy, 25 weeks along. And I had nothing like this with my first. Has anyone else had a similar experience? If so we’re you able to find any relief?

I’m 36+2 and started developing pain in my lower left back radiating down my left thigh a few days ago. It was manageable but today is unbearable - I can’t even take a step without almost being in tears. I’m basically bed bound and in absolute agony. Is this normal? Does it come and go? Any advice welcome. 😭 I don’t know how I can do another few weeks of this. 😭
