relief please...

I am 32 weeks pregnant give or take (don't know my last menstrual), and I am having sharp pain in my right buttock that goes into my right leg. Then I think from sleeping wrong I started having really bad cramp-like pain in my left lower back region and it is going all arond my side to my lower abdomen and into my leg. It is really bad I am already taking 6 Norco for neuropathy and I can't take anymore.. I mean I can but I don't feel right. Can anyone give me any tricks to relieve pressure on my nerves in that region? I am hoping it isn't labor pains..

The buttock to the leg cramping sounds like your hamstring is tightening. Mine have been doing that since the second or third month, mainly my left hamstring for some reason. It sounds like your symptoms are much more severe than mine but on your good days I would try some low impact lower body stretching. Prenatal yoga really helped me, yours hamstrings shorten in pregnancy so that's why they hurt so much. Walking helps me too, I have a job where I sit all day so if I just go to bed without either a walk or yoga I feel that stabbing pain in my bumcheek all the next day.

Yeah I figured it was due to the baby getting bigger. But it still was making me nervous because it lasting literally for over 24 hours non-stop and is getting worse. No pillow or rubbing or streching will help. My advice nurse said to go to labor and delivery I probably have a slipped or herniated disc. I can't walk at all it is relentless and debilitating. I hate it, I have the sciatica and the back pains every day so I know what you women are talking about it ***** so bad but this was like 10 times that pain... I haven't gone to L&D yet because it started getting better, but tomorrow if it is the same again after waking up I am going to go right away. My little guy is kicking around a lot but I can't imagine if this mental and emotional stress causes him to be affected.
