I am 19 weeks and have been diagnosed with Sciatica. I am in so much pain all the time. It doesn’t matter if I am sitting, standing or laying, I get no comfort. My doctor just keeps saying “Give it time, or it should go away on its own”. Pregnancy is supposed to be enjoyable and I am in so much pain that I don’t want to be pregnant and I **** that I feel this way. Any suggestions?

I’ve been told I have sciatica, but nobody knows what is causing it. It’s very erratic in that the pain can start at any time from the simplest movement then be gone just as suddenly. So I can’t say physical activity is a definite cause, but it does usually act up after I walk any extended distance. I’m not really sure if a gym class would be good for this, and I’m not really sure what the process is to get excused from the requirements is or even if I could be. What should I do?

I have seen a chiropractor for a number of years for the treatment of sciatica. I have had good benefits from this treatment, but lately I have not been going regularly. Could just not keeping up on maintenance cause it to return. I have not done anything else that would be responsible for bringing this on. I would especially like to hear from Chiropractors and Chiropractic techs.
