Since I was pregnant Ive suffered really badly with sciatica. Its a dull ache all down one side of the back and legs. Normally comes on when Ive been carrying a bag thats too heaving, walking to much, shopping etc.
My husband is very happy that after 15 minutes of walking around La Canada - I get sciatica - for him its great.
I read an article a while back about epidurals causing sciatica but never found it since. Last night I was talking to a back Specialist. He asked if I had this pain before pregnancy - I said no. But I didn have epidural and not only that - but they put it in wrong where I was only numb one side. So they had to do it again. This is it he said!
Its really awful, for nearly 6 years Ive been suffering with this and the past couple of weeks its got worse where even putting my weight on one particular side, I have cramps and pain travelling up the whole leg from the foot to the base of back.
So if you are suffering from this kind of pain after pregnancy and having an epidural - then this is the reason.
Stretching is very important every day.
If you have been through this and have any advice do leave a comment.
