But I've had chronic lower back pain for years, herniated disc which all culminated in back surgery last year. After that, I had 8 weeks of pt during recovery and went to a chiropractor regularly. The pt had me focusing on exercises to strengthen my core and foam roller stuff. Good luck </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-hip-sciatica-from-pregnancy#post-1623168 Thu, 08 May 2014 22:34:18 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1623168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had like 10 years of hip issues and it was nearly unbearable during pregnancy.</p> <p>I agree with above about 1) exercise helping (even just walking, but for me jogging is better 2) foam roller!!</p> <p>I've been to pt two different times (including currently) and the forum roller seems to be the biggest help ever. Ice also helps.</p> <p>For pt she's having me strengthen random muscles aroun my hip/butt area to take pressure off of my hip.</p> <p>Lastly, during pregnancy every said just deal with it, it's just one of those things... Don't let them ignore you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-hip-sciatica-from-pregnancy#post-1622930 Thu, 08 May 2014 20:55:15 +0000 bunnylovesbear 1622930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to me when I was pregnant with my son - it was so bad one Saturday morning when I woke up that I couldn't even stand up straight to walk to the bathroom. It was scary and painful and I had never experienced anything like it. I spent the majority of the day in bed and it eased up a bit, but I made an appointment with a local chiropractor that specialized in a method geared towards pregnant women - i'm drawing a blank at the moment of what it was called. Regardless, they worked MIRACLES. I whole-heartedly recommend giving it a try. I still go in for monthly check-ins, and I bring my two children, as well. It's very non-invasive and not only did it help with my hip, but I feel like the frequency of getting headaches drastically decreased, as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-hip-sciatica-from-pregnancy#post-1622850 Thu, 08 May 2014 20:40:21 +0000 Rubies 1622850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 7 months PP with my second daughter and it's even worse now. :( I've been getting massages once a month and still in pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-hip-sciatica-from-pregnancy#post-1622794 Thu, 08 May 2014 20:26:45 +0000 charmed 1622794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Nskillet: sorry, just saw this! A foam roller is basically a big tube of hard foam. You lay/roll on it and it helps work out tight muscles. This link shows the basic idea of it: <a href="http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/foam-roller-exercises" rel="nofollow">http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/foam-roller-exercises</a></p> <p>When my sciatic nerve acts up, I sit on my foam roller and pretty much just roll over my lower back/butt/thighs. When I get to a spot that's really tender I stay in that spot for a bit until it relaxes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-hip-sciatica-from-pregnancy#post-1615986 Tue, 06 May 2014 11:03:07 +0000 spaniellove 1615986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: @Greentea: Pigeon and warrior have been very helpful for me. In general, anything that really stretched that muscle was a godsend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-hip-sciatica-from-pregnancy#post-1615972 Tue, 06 May 2014 11:00:30 +0000 Mrs Spoon 1615972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some really bad hip pain during pregnancy. I went to a chiro after trying stretches, yoga, foam roller and other exercises. I think the latter made it worse! I went to a chiro that specializes in pregnant women and children. Felt better immediately and it didn't come back </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-hip-sciatica-from-pregnancy#post-1615816 Tue, 06 May 2014 10:16:30 +0000 travellingbee 1615816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have had/still sometimes have this since I was about 30 weeks pregnant. I worry it will be terrible during my next pregnancy. One of these days I'd like to get to a chiropractor... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-hip-sciatica-from-pregnancy#post-1615808 Tue, 06 May 2014 10:15:27 +0000 Greentea 1615808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A very gentle warrior 1 (yoga pose) will lift off the pressure. Also, sitting is a nightmare so I tried to avoid that. Certain chairs or couches could really do me in. Sometimes dh would have to massage the site. What about ice? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-hip-sciatica-from-pregnancy#post-1615792 Tue, 06 May 2014 10:11:59 +0000 T-Mom 1615792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had pretty bad pain in my two pregnancies, and the "pigeon" yoga pose every night before bed really helped me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-hip-sciatica-from-pregnancy#post-1615623 Tue, 06 May 2014 09:22:33 +0000 Nskillet 1615623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@charmed foam roller?

I work a desk job and I slowly have begun some stretches I found online. I plan to go for a deep tissue massage too. DH can only do so much!</p> <p>Thank you! We are thrilled :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-hip-sciatica-from-pregnancy#post-1615612 Tue, 06 May 2014 09:20:07 +0000 HLK208 1615612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to PT during my second pregnancy and it really helped. Lots of heated massages and exercises to stretch those areas.</p> <p>@Nskillet: congratulations, by the way!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-hip-sciatica-from-pregnancy#post-1615607 Tue, 06 May 2014 09:18:28 +0000 chibee 1615607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am suffering from this so bad right now! it's just on my left side, and i literally limp for the first couple of seconds after i get up after having sat or lied down for a long time. I work at a desk all day so i'm sure that doesn't help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-hip-sciatica-from-pregnancy#post-1615338 Tue, 06 May 2014 08:03:15 +0000 charmed 1615338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have sciatic nerve issues (not from pregnancy, just in general), and have found that it's so much better when I exercise regularly. I can tell it's time to get back to the gym when my hip starts bothering me!</p> <p>I also have a foam roller that gives me some relief when the pain gets really bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-hip-sciatica-from-pregnancy#post-1615316 Tue, 06 May 2014 07:54:46 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1615316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ohh I'm sorry. I've had some pains like that during pregnancy and the OB recommended a support belt and said often mothers wear it after birth as well. </p> <p>I found very basic, slow, easy squats to be really helpful in trying to get things aligned and strengthened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-hip-sciatica-from-pregnancy#post-1615262 Tue, 06 May 2014 07:30:34 +0000 Nskillet 1615262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi All!</p> <p>I'm around 16 weeks with my second baby and have had off and on terrible hip pain since my first daughter was born. I did some online searching and was shocked to see Hip Sciatica and a specific muscle being inflammed. This is exactly my pain site and I notice the most pain after sitting for extended period of time. I've also had lower back pain which shoots down my leg.</p> <p>Any tips for stretches or recovery? </p>
