When I was pregnant, I suffered from sciatica, but never got to the point of wanting or needing to get it treated. Now, I am having the same symptoms, but I’m NOT pregnant, and the pain is anywhere from moderate to SEVERE – a 10/10 on the pain scale! If you have dealt with this before, please help!
We have a large nerve bundle that runs from our hips to our heels. It is contained in a cartilage "tunnel" in the pelvic bone. Any sort of trauma from falling to pregnancy can bust open that "tunnel." There is no cure. When the weather is damp (low pressure system) it makes it even worse (pain). Sometimes a chiropractor can help the worst of the pain, and maybe acupuncture but I don’t believe it. It is something we have to suffer with the rest of our lives. : (

commited. good luck, as i can feel your pain.
