Involve, I found swimming and heat packs a lot of help but I do find that when I get Sciatica, I can only ver ease the ain, not make it go away. It won't go away until baby decides to move.]]> Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:54:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29195&PID=816812&title=sciatica#816812 <![CDATA[Sciatica : According to the GP codeine is...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29195&PID=816670&title=sciatica#816670 Author: Zasha

According to the GP codeine is safe in pregnancy although she said prolonged use can cause problems, here's a link of different drugs that can and can't be used in pregnancy  http://www.brooksidepress.org/Products/Military_OBGYN/Textbook/Pregnancy/medication_use_during_pregnancy.htm

Zasha are you even allowed Codine while pregnant?? Im pretty sure its only panadol.

Just an update for you, I got Acupuncture and after around 3 days its now gone pretty much. If im on my feet too long I get sore but I can now sleep and walk again I would recommend it, its well worth the money!]]> Sun, 25 Oct 2009 18:23:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29195&PID=816549&title=sciatica#816549 <![CDATA[Sciatica : I&#039;ve been suffereing from...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29195&PID=816476&title=sciatica#816476 Author: Zasha

I've been suffereing from sciatic for a while now and it's only getting worse. I still have a while to go and I'm scared it's only going to get worse. I'd love to try swimming but there's no heated pools suitable with in my immediate area, the closest heated pools are 35km away, I've had some deep tissue massage that has helped, but I can't  afford to go any more cause I lost me job at the beginning of the month .  I've been to see the GP who has prescribed me codine which in turn made me feel sick and did stuff all for the pain anyway, I'm also now on crutches but even tring to move around on them is fairly painful when it gets real bad. Is there any thing that can I can do to stop the pain.

Just to let you ladies know that are suffering from this too I found swimming today so relaxing (apart from it being school holidays). I managed to exercise without it hurting.

I had my third physio appointment also and unfortunatily it hasnt done much good/not as good as the swimming. I am now wearing a pregnancy brace and again tonight in pain being over a week but I wont give up on the swimming.

Midwife thinks it could be way bubs is positioned also!!]]> Thu, 08 Oct 2009 18:49:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29195&PID=800260&title=sciatica#800260 <![CDATA[Sciatica : I said on my acc form that I hurt...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29195&PID=798995&title=sciatica#798995 Author: Inlove28

i have this same problem, seems very common in pregnancy. i was thinking maybe physio might be worth a go but don't have much money. i know it was funded through ACC but heard the funding stopped. is this right or is it still free. or does it come under the free healthcare thing during pregnancy like the doctors does?]]> Wed, 07 Oct 2009 16:16:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29195&PID=798914&title=sciatica#798914 <![CDATA[Sciatica : i found it terrible from about...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29195&PID=798888&title=sciatica#798888 Author: monikah

I found physio no help, chiropractic works for me.

Also a little trick you can try for yourself - when you have sciatica pain, on the same side as the pain, feel down the palmside of your hand between the bottom of the thumb & your wrist, you will probably find a very sore point. With the thumb of your other hand press into the sore point, the tenderness should slowly diminish, it will likely relieve the sciatica pain & I find it works even better if I am walking at the same time.

Hope someone finds this helpful.]]> Wed, 07 Oct 2009 15:13:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29195&PID=798837&title=sciatica#798837 <![CDATA[Sciatica : Thanks girls...

Yeah I had awful sciatica with Jake and its worse this time - I'm stuck on the couch (or the floor if I'm an idiot ) alot!! Swimming is awesome coz its warm and weightless! I find pregnancy pilates has helped a huge amount and also keeping my pelvis warm even resorting to tucking a hot water bottle down my pants . I tried an osteopath but it didn't work for me over this. Does usually though so worth a go.]]> Wed, 07 Oct 2009 08:40:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29195&PID=798364&title=sciatica#798364 <![CDATA[Sciatica : SWIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the end I had a belt, and a crutch just to get around the house. Regular physio as I could get that for free, but what really did the trick was going to see a recommended Osteopath - they do much more thorough and specific adjustments, but can be a bit spendy. Acupuncture was also helpful, but in the end the only thing that fixed it was giving birth!]]> Tue, 06 Oct 2009 14:50:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29195&PID=797663&title=sciatica#797663 <![CDATA[Sciatica : Yeah its really painful eh......]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29195&PID=797636&title=sciatica#797636 Author: Inlove28

For the last 10 days I have been suffering from the same problem and it has cost me my job   . I've been to see a deep tissue massage therapist, it has helped a little bit, it was not the most pleasent massage experience I've had but at least I can walk again. So it could be another option to look at failing everything else.

Hey girls,

I have been in quite a lot of pain since Thursday with Sciatica, at one stage I couldnt even walk or put pressure on my left leg . Have been to Physio twice and back again this Thursday but with a quick rub and the Tens machine it doesnt seem to be getting any better. I cant work at the moment and NEED to be working.

Anyone else going through this or has been and found a great treatment... like acupuncture?]]> Tue, 06 Oct 2009 14:04:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29195&PID=797602&title=sciatica#797602
