Donna -Massive Pain In The Butt!!!

[Guest guest]

Thanks Donna for the advice. Unfortunately I am allergic to Ibuprophen and

tylenol hasn't even touched the pain that I am in! I called my Dr.'s office and

I will see if they do or recommend anything. I know because of the gastric

bypass I cannot take naproxen either....so what does that leave?

Re: Massive Pain In The Butt!!!

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!

Crystal,

I guess you'll have to see what the doc says...sorry! Tylenol

doesn't work for me either!!! It never has unfortunately.

Ibuprofen is about the only thing I have success with. I use the

liquigel caps since my surgery and have great success with minor

pain relief. Too bad you are allergic to ibuprofen:( A gentle

massage might help some, but you don't want to further inflame the

sciatic nerve. It sounds like you are doing everything you can and

will have to see what the doctor says.

Good Luck!

Donna
