Re: weird pain (literally) in the butt

[Guest guest]

Hi Trish

I had the same with my first pregnancy and the doc said it was caused by the

shifting of my hips getting ready to give birth. Since my first pregnancy I have

had it with the other two and now that nubmer 4 is on the way I am noticing the

same feeling slowly coming back. I dont know if its the same but it sounds

almost Identical. I got to the point being overweight at the time, I was almost

unable to walk very far without almost falling. I rode the mobiles at the

supermarket so I could get groceries. I would talk to your doc if it continues.

weird pain (literally) in the butt

I have been having this weird pain and cramp in my left butt cheek--

right above my thigh. Most of the day as I walk around I can feel it

sore, as if I had a muscle that was pulled but is almost healed.

Just tender etc........But not bad enough to make me walk funny or

anything. But at night when I get home, after I have sat for awhile,

it cramps BAD! I will get up, take a few steps and suddenly I can't

walk anymore. It hurts so bad that I have to grab the wall or my

husband. It makes me want to cry. So that happens all evening and

getting in and out of bed is hard as well. By morning I am fine.

Anyone know what this could be?

Hi there Trisha,Congrats on your Pg.Youre allmost done YAY!Youre so

luck y to have a girl Thats what I hope were having.....I had the

worst pain ever around 28wks all the way

until delivery,It hurt so bad I couldnt sleep and was miserable

daily,It turned out it was my sciatic nerve and it was my right side

from my hip down it would give me trouble,They say the baby lies on

the nerve I dont know the exact cause but They gave me tylenol 3

for when I was unbearable,Hopefully this isnt what you have because

it isnt fun,Can you go to the chiropractor and get an adjustment?or

maybe a maternity massage?I went to the chiropractor yesterday IM

only 11 wks but he did a fantastic job and My right hip and leg has

been messing with me again so He popped it and it was an insane

popping sound but I got relief however I have pain still and IM gonna

go back tomorrow.Well anyhow Have your hubby rub it it,Maybe some

muscle rub like flexall,Walking usually aggravates it..Also extra

calcium can help If youre having charlie horses?Youre legs get real

tight at night?It could be the baby sucking all your calcium?Viactiv

might help ya.....I have been told cal citrate is the fastes

absorbing for us...Or it could be lack of potassium Eat soem

bananas...Or maybe youre legs are just restless and you should go

take an evening walk when it feels like this or a warm bubble

bath.......

Hope you feel better soon best of luck celena in ca

Trisha - I know exactly what it is.. SCIATICA! Often when pregnant(or

overweight) this is affected.. Its a sciatic nerve that runs from your back down

your legs. The baby often irritates it.. Really- nothing you can do for it..

My

dr said exercise but thats when it hurts.. Some say you can take an

anti-inflamatory pill but I never tried that.. have hubby massage it and if your

Ob

allows, take hot baths.... It should get better after baby gets here.

A girl here at work had what sounds like the same pain (she hasn't had WLS but

is overweight) and her doctor said it was a pinched nerve- comepletely related

to pregnancy. WHen she went on mat. leave and rested more she said it got much

better.
