Seventh week of pregnancy. I woke up and realized that my lower back is terribly painful, radiating into my left leg, and it hurts more when I move or bend my leg. The pain also spreads to my buttock. I think it might be sciatica, but it seems a bit early for that. It's not the third trimester yet. What did anyone use for relief? I haven't registered with a doctor yet, and I plan to see one a bit later after an ultrasound.

Yes, indeed, sciatic nerve entrapment is quite unusual so early in pregnancy, but it is possible. In any case, it is important to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. You might benefit from wearing a special support belt for your lower back, doing exercises to strengthen your back and abdominal muscles, and taking warm baths or applying compresses. But again, only a doctor can provide you with the correct recommendations and treatment. Good luck to you!

The phrase "Не симфизит?" in English translates to "Not symphysitis?" This is a question asking if something is not symphysitis, which refers to inflammation of the symphysis, a joint where two bones are fused together.

Medi, No, it's symphysis pubis dysfunction, when the pelvic bones separate before childbirth. But I'm at week 7 and it's specifically my lower back and entire left leg. I'm already tired, feeling like a cripple.

Yes, I've had that too, it will pass, it's not symphysis pubis dysfunction. It just happens sometimes, but this will pass, I understand it hurts terribly during pregnancy.

I limped all the way through my second pregnancy, but after giving birth, I forgot about it in an instant. With my third pregnancy, I occasionally experienced pinching pains; I would stretch a little, which helped temporarily. Then the baby turned, and the pain stopped.

Елена, Well, I was thinking about doing some light stretching, some easy gymnastics, maybe it will ease up a bit. It seems like I'm loosening up and it gets a bit easier, but in the morning after the night I feel like a robot that needs oiling ?. This is my third pregnancy and it's the first time I've experienced this kind of "joy" ?. Thanks for the responses. It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one feeling this way.))

I also experienced this from the beginning of my pregnancy, and then it periodically bothered me until childbirth.

Well, as someone who has been pregnant twice and both times started experiencing sciatic nerve pain around the same stage, I had massages from a specialist but nothing helped; I just kept going, sometimes it hurts, sometimes it doesn't... There were times when it hurt continuously for a long period, when walking, when lying down, when sitting... As soon as I gave birth, I realized that it didn't bother me at all anymore! I have had scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis since my teenage years and I think this caused complications.

Марія, Well, I also have pain that comes and goes the next day. It seems like it's all over, but then it can flare up again. Apparently, that's our lot. Thank you for your response, I will come to terms with it)

Юлия, Try massages anyway, sitting in a warm bath + massage helped me, but again, until the first "wrong" movement ?

At 10 weeks, I've also been suffering for about two weeks. I had it during my first pregnancy too, but it went away by the third trimester.
