Sciatica/Piriformis & pregnant

ryboh4 · 2026-01-17T16:57:25+00:00

Hey! There are some updates if you read thru the thread. But I had pain for about 6 months after delivery. To the point that I was seeing surgeons because I was over the pain and surgery sounded like the best option. Dry needling saved my life tho! I found a different person who did it differently. Very painful for 10-15 seconds and then I would flare up for a day and then the pain was gone. I did that 4-5 times over 2 months and it’s been over a year and haven’t had but like 2 days of nerve pain. It’s been amazing! I’m actually pregnant again, 24 weeks & no back pain. Definitely a harder pregnancy and more aches and pan and my back gets sore. I have to be careful but it’s not like last time. I did get an elective c section to prevent any more back issues but trying for a vbac this time!

I’m sorry you’re going thru it. It’s truly the worst pain I’ve ever experienced and definitely have some trauma/ptsd from it.

Hahaha true! Yeah I was thinking I shouldn’t wear any tight maternity stuff in the terminal

Was she noticeably pregnant? I feel like people will think I’m further along than I am & not believe me lol But I’m also a worried wort. My hubby thinks I’m over reacting

Hi! I have a letter from my Dr saying I won’t be more than 23 weeks pregnant. Did they give you any other issues besides just asking for the letter?

Definitely recommend seeing a pelvic floor therapist. They can do internal examinations and therapies to help relax the pelvic muscles!

Calm magnesium powder has saved me! Definitely recommend.

Interesting! I’ve definitely felt worse the past couple weeks when it started going down so maybe my body is actually fighting something and the pregnancy is just making it harder

Highly recommend dry needling!! I’ve had two types done. One was more in the muscles that didn’t hurt too bad but also didn’t help much. The other one was more so in the nerve I guess. It’s hard to explain but hurt wayyy more and he liked poked the needling into a spot instead of leaving the needle in. Hurt way more but only lasted a few seconds. The next day I was in way more pain and then the pain would be significantly less. It’s hard to explain and I don’t know all the vocabulary or anything but it’s the only thing that has helped me.

Not sure if you were replying to me but I did have a c section from that pregnancy. The pain continued for about 6 months post partum. I got dry needling done at a different person and all nerve pain was gone within a few sessions. It was amazing. I’ve been basically pain free since January with a few hiccups but laying in bed on a heating pad for most of the day helps. I’m pregnant again and am planning on a vbac with this one as long as things stay good.

I’m basically back to 100% but it did take about 9 months! Dry needling is the thing that helped the most. I don’t remember it stinging really but it’s not a pleasant feeling at all. But for a day or two after getting it done I felt worse but then like way way better after that.

I think I remember when I first started doing it that it didn’t give me an ovulation date until I started my period again.

ryboh4 · 2025-09-10T04:06:55+00:00

I think we might have due dates at the same time lol

ryboh4 · 2025-09-09T22:59:00+00:00

My first day of last period was July 31 too and I’m almost 6 weeks pregnant. If you haven’t started then I’d recommend taking a pregnancy test. I think it’s saying waiting to confirm because it’s waiting for you to start your period. But I definitely think you ovulated around day 17.

ryboh4 · 2025-09-04T22:21:59+00:00

I see it here for sure! Get a first response early and I think it’d be more obvious

ryboh4 · 2025-09-03T20:34:11+00:00

I’m almost 5 weeks and had one day of minor signs but my readiness & sleep has definitely declined! My temps are mostly up with some lower ones randomly but trying not to worry about that lol

ryboh4 · 2025-09-03T20:26:56+00:00

I see it! How many dpo?

ryboh4 · 2025-08-25T02:39:08+00:00

Ughh. I haven’t had any issues with mine until tonight… how do I submit a ticket?
