massage techniques sciatica

I think I have Sciatica. Its almost debilitating at times. I'll see my doctor on the 15th and I know there's not much he will be able to do. Has anyone dealt with this during pregnancy? If so, what were some ways that you handled the pain?

What are some methods y'all used to help relieve sciatica pain??

It's been a month since i injected Betaseron in left butt cheek. It still feels like I've been stabbed. I think it is from hitting a spot that I had injected before, but it also feels like sciatica because there's pain (even in bone) going down my leg to my ankle. Ibuprofen helps for about an hour and I'm in pain again. Walking makes it worse and I've done the sciatica stretches. Does anyone have any idea how I can get rid of this once n for all???

I have 2 vertebrae that aren't connected so I've always had problems, but since I've been pregnant(I'm 25 weeks) my sciatica has been horrendous! I just cry and cry! My whole leg goes numb and it's the worst pain I've ever had in my left hip. I have medicine for it, but can't take it bc of the baby. What can I do for this? Tylenol doesn't touch it... I have three more months left and I don't see how I can keep doing this! Help!

My partner has been plagued with what he thinks is sciatica nerve pain for a number of years. He often complains of tightness in his lower back on the left side and when i try to massage it for him he says it hurts too much to touch. Furthermore he complains that it travels down through his left buttock down his left leg and stops at the knee. Shortly after i met him the pain was so bad that he couldn't stand up or walk. He often describes it as a dull ache and with it ending at the knee.

m tired, driving long distances, etc. The massage therapist and physical therapist also helped tremendously with the sciatica. Stretching and massage were the two things that have helped the pain be a rare occurrence. A good PT or massage therapist can work on both of those with you. So, have you seen anyone for the sciatica and head muscular pain?

It might be your sciatica. See about going into therapeutic massage. ..like the places that do massage after an injury.

Hey..just wondering does anyone know anything about sciatica and how to ease the pain of it..

See a chiropractor. The relief can not be described. They can also help with hip pain. Also, being properly aligned helps ease labor.

I had a prenatal massage today and eve. That only helped and little bit. It's the sciatica so u do like and that's very common in pregnancy. Only advice I could give would be to bist out the big guns and go to a chiropractor.

Just wondering if anyone else is struggling with sciatica and any suggestions of how to get rid of it?

I am thinking about seeking treatment but wondering if people see chiropractors or massage therapist for sciatica pain. I do not have extended benefits so i will be out of pocket the money which is why i wont be able to do both! Fyi i wont take drugs as an option. I appreciate any opinions!

I am 8w 4d pregnant and I have this horrible pain in what feels like my tailbone. It hurts really bad when I walk or just move a certain way. Google tells me it's sciatica. Is there anything I can do to alleviate the pain? Any advise would be ggreatly appreciated!

Is Sciatica considered as an autoimmune disorder? Thank you for you responses.

I had 3 or 4 days where almost all of my pain (especially the sciatica) was just...gone...but now it's back, and it's worse. I attributed the improvement to the fact that I was taking Celexa (started it on Wednesday), but I'm still taking it and yeah... Just wondering what this might be about...on top of everything else I still have yet to here from the physical therapist to whom I was theoretically referred.

I hand to hang onto my car door before I could put weight on it and walk. It was horrible pain. Massage can help, but it didnt do much for me. It can agravate it if its not done right. No heat, relaxin hormone makes you back/hip muscles and joints loose and heat will make it worse. Ive been amazing since then. I have been through back surgery less than 2 years ago, my back is one of the things I try to protect the most. I know the pain!

I was 2 weeks pregnant with my first daughter when sciatica hit me. That's why I went to the doctor, I couldn't take the pain. Turned out I had a tiny fetus resting on the nerve. Now pregnant with my second, my sciatica started at 17 weeks. I actually have massage therapy on February 2nd, which I didn't get with my first.

While my sciatica (and I am assuming it IS sciatica) started with the usual symptoms - pain in the lower back shooting down my leg to my knee - the symptoms have evolved into something new for me. Most of the lower back pain is gone, but the inside and front of my left leg is now so tender, wearing pants hurt. At night, moving the sheet causes pain as it moves over my leg.

I had a pregnancy massage and made sure the massage therapist knew about my sciatica problem. She worked miracles and helped out tremendously!!!!

very true but...also sciatica muscle also may be the reason and if it is related to any of that go to a massage therapist not a doctor. They will only give you a muscle relaxant and/or pain releivers and send you home with the problem still there just covered up.

Chiropractor not an option. Have Structural scoliosis .was recommended I not see one. And I'm very active have a 2 year old boy. But my leg hurts so bad my right leg,actually 3 inches longer than left so when i stand i have to bend it just to be even,hurts putting pressure on it.

Felt like pins and needles. Felt like it was burning. Had sciatica from my butt down my leg. Surgery did work. No pain walking. But if I walk a lot I get sciatica. Every night my muscles in my butt and leg are so tight. Usually a massage will help. Does anyone have this and what helps?

Anyone of u experience sciatica pain in early pregnancy. 12 weeks today.

The baby is sitting on your sciatica nerve and is producing this feeling. It's uncomfortable but normal.
