My sciatic is a pain that goes down one side of my butt cheek (although already this far into pregnancy I have it on both sides) and goes down my leg into my calf - and it aches and aches and aches.

I went to physio today to help - so thats an option for you. Bloody hurts like anything, but its worth it.

She told me to keep doing some gentle exercises to help stretch the area:-

1) Lie on your back and bring your knees up and gently swing them side to side - she said one side might be tighter than the other, and thats ok, but just do it gently.

2) Lie on your back and bring your knee up to your chest, one at a time.

3) When sleeping, try to sleep on your side with a pillow between your legs so it brings your back into line with your hips, instead of rolling forwards.

And get your hubby to rub your butt There's a spot off the side near where the hip is if he presses on that - hurts like all heck, but it relaxes it.

Sucks, I know exactly what you are going through.
