Massive Pain In The Butt!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Well I've been trying to grin and bear it...but for the last week I have a

massive pain in my butt! It's actually only one side. My left side. It hurts

in my bone in down deep in the middle of my left butt cheek...underneath it. I

can't hardly lift my left leg with out shooting pain and now have to sleep with

a really firm pillow between my legs and change positions frequently. It hurts

to bend and it hurts to sit...

I had sciatica attacks in high school and college but its been so long I can't

remember if this is what it feels like.

Any ideas? Again its only on my left side. The right is great and pain free.

sounds like what my OB told me was sciatica from where the baby lays

on the nerves running down the legs and that is was usually more

common on one side than the other. I'd be sure to let them know about

it of course.

Chrystal,

Definately sounds like sciatica to me. I have had it for years and

am a nurse. You should call your OB. Ibuprofen worked well for me,

and during my first pregnancy I was told I could take it up to 20

weeks, however that was 5 years ago! I am not sure if they are

recommending ibuprofen at all now a days. If not, I am sure your OB

can recommend something to help. I can empathize...it really

hurts!!!

Good Luck!

I have this really bad on the right side. Sometimes it is in my lower back on

right side and goes down to the butt. And if I move quickly while sitting it

goes down the leg. I told the Dr about it and he said it is how the babies are

laying and there is nothing that can be done except Tylenol.

Good luck.

I know that I have been brought to tears a couple of times.
