It did go away a few weeks after he was born though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-sciatica#post-370421 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 15:49:15 +0000 Mrs. Pen 370421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HeatherlovesKenny: It's lessened significantly but it flares up about once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-sciatica#post-370405 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 15:44:54 +0000 HLK208 370405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 5 months pp, mine has come back and it's really annoying. Not sure if its normal but I had to search this on Hellobee. @Coco Bee: did yours go away?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-sciatica#post-283669 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 07:55:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 283669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsaudi: Oh no!! you too :( I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one, but I'm sad it ails you too.</p> <p>The chiro really helps straighten everything out, and many times there is pain because things "slip" into improper places/form. I also feel better after the chiro! My dr is awesome too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-sciatica#post-283509 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 22:31:47 +0000 Springtime 283509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had bad sciatica at 4 weeks pregnant up until the 2nd trimester. it just went away on its own. I am now 4.5 months PP and have had it ever since birth! i thought it would eventually go away but it still hasnt. my right thigh hurts bad especially when i sit for long hours. feels better when i stretch and lay down. i need to go see a chiro! but what can do they do for it????? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-sciatica#post-282636 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 09:43:23 +0000 Mrs. Pen 282636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dookie32: Oh it's definitely not AS bad as when I was pg. And it's a little different as well. Before it was mostly radiating in my back, but now it's in my left thigh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-sciatica#post-282630 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 09:37:13 +0000 dookie32 282630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh sorry that sounds terrible. Mine hasn't gone away (5 months PP) but it's not as bad as it was when I was pregnant. Back then I couldn't walk or stand for longer than 10 minutes before my entire right thigh started throbbing. Now I just have numbness at random times when I'm sitting or laying down. I've thought about letting the dr know but it doesn't really happen frequently enough to worry about it now. I'm just hoping that it will eventually go away. I would definitely see a physical therapist or chiropractor in your case if it's keeping you from being able to lift things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-sciatica#post-282629 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 09:36:51 +0000 sorrycharlie 282629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still pregnant (obviously) but my sciatica has recently returned. I had a few weeks off. It was mainly my back, now it's my left hip and groin area. I have an appt in about an hour so I plan to ask about it then, I'll let you know if any helpful info! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-sciatica#post-282624 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 09:33:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 282624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@purrpletulips: wow that is late! Mine started at 6 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-sciatica#post-282613 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 09:23:14 +0000 purrpletulips 282613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry you are in so much pain. Mine went away for the most part but flares up every once in awhile. However, I fell off a horse when I was 15 landing pretty hard on my right hip and the sciatic pain I experienced was on that side during pregnancy. My OB said the two were possibly related so it never completely went away. The first pregnancy it didn't appear until 39w exactly, with my current pregnancy it showed up at 22w but has gone away except for occasional flareups every once in awhile (currently 38w). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-sciatica#post-282600 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 09:14:29 +0000 Mrs. Pen 282600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bump?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-sciatica#post-282196 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 19:50:00 +0000 Mrs. Pen 282196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told my sciatica would go away nearly as soon as the baby was born. I was actually fine for the first month, so focused on healing elsewhere... but it's still flaring up and this week it's been really intense. </p> <p>My chiropractor told me the sciatic nerve, although in the back, frequently shoots down the front too, I've been having severe issues in my left thigh near my crotch to the point where I hobble all the time.. lifting makes it worse, today I feel like I just barely made it to the car with DS in his carseat. I am in so much pain.</p> <p>Did anyone else's sciatica not go away? </p>
