I've got a dodgy nerve somewhere in my pelvis, and very occasionally it will cause my left thigh (kind of front/outside faces) to hurt, like a burning pain and feel numb. In the normal run of things I even forget I have it, because it takes so much to 'set it off'. Standing in one spot seems to be the worst trigger.
When I was pregnant with DS, I had it a lot more often and a lot worse. It got progressively worse throughout the pregnancy starting around 3mths. At the time I thought that was bad enough. When I got pregnant with this one, I remember thinking about 4-5 mths that it was odd I wasn't having such a bad time with the leg thing. Then I got to about 6mths and OMG! When it started it was already way worse than it ever was with DS. Now I'm 8 1/2 mths and it's so bad I just can't describe it. It keeps me up at night. I can't finish washing a load of dishes without being in agony. At 6mths, sitting down for a few minutes fixed it. Now it's with me almost constantly and I can't get comfortable. What can I do? I've been googling it and it seems I'm not the only one, but everything I've found on it just says I'm not the only one and doesn't offer any suggestions. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I would either see an osteopath or get Bowen therapy(LOVE Bowen therapy!!!)
My dads friend does it(bowen), and he did some adjustments on me last week, I have a dodgy hip/pelvis and sacroiliac joint, and he manipulates the muscles somehow(he just presses with his fingers), I felt amazing afterwards. he did something to my back/bottom and then something to my hips(that hurt cos they are so bung) but afterwards they felt heaps better. ------------- |

Sounds like it could be sciatica or something very similar. I'd also recommend finding a good osteopath.
I haven't had experience with Bowen therapy to be able to comment on that, but it sounds like it might be worth a shot. |
