I've got a nerve that keeps pinching. It's kinda parallell with my lower spine but above my left bum cheek. Sometimes it's pinching really badly and I cant put weight on my leg.
Anyone else get this inthe last tri? What did you do to try to fix it?

Sounds like sciatica to me. I had this from about 12 weeks and still have it now. I use a heat pack and try to stay off my feet or if that's not possible then try to just move around slowly as I know when it really pinches it can send you to your knees.
I tried physio, chiro etc etc and the heat is the only thing that really helped. I've been told the only thing that fixes it is giving birth!
It can be pretty painful so hopefully it goes away for you soon!!
If it doesn't go down your leg it sounds more like sacroilliac joint pain. A good physio / osteo / chiro can help with pelvic alignment and pilates can help keep it stable too. Make sure you turn your core muscles on before you take a step. It feels like the whole side of your pelvis is falling out!!
Hi everyone, thanks for your replies. It feels like a shooting sciatic nerve pain, but it doesn't shoot down my leg like sciatic nerve pain does ITMS.
I had some acupuncture done yesterday snd yesterday afternoon it was terrific. I feel a little tender again today though but I haven't have any of the shooting nerve pain again yet :crossfingers:
I have exact same thing.....38 weeks pregnant.....i hope it goes away before the labour starts....its hard on the other four kids when i can hardly move and its the school holidays
