Have you ever or are now currently experiencing sciatic nerve pain? How do you or have you dealt with it.

I can empathize with you I lived with chronic sciatic pain for many years due to a back injury. My last surgery made it much more manageable. It can be very debilitating. Sorry you are going through this

I agree with primnproper about trying the tens unit and yes it does deliver electrical stimulation which has the affect of blocking pain.. If you want to know about this contact me I'm not an expert on TENS but, I do have one and use for sciatic nerve pain after surgery and it works.. Considering that you're pregnant it seems that TENS is your best option.. I willing to actively help and seek whatever will work for you.. I empathize with your pain!
I hope that you're ok enough until we can chat

Have you tried a tens machine..that helps and is also good when you go into Labour to..

1. Do you have a local acupuncturist in your area? works wonders for back pain.
2. Invest in a foam roller, that your tummy is big, may be hard for the lower back. Still worth to get one, you can roll your whole body, it's like having your own massage at home.
3. With pain tablets, try to curb as they can cause damage to the liver if over used.

I found physiotherapy really helpful, though that may not be of use to you in your conditions, especially since you say you can't do your old stretches. I hope someone else comes up with something more relevant.

I have had nerve block injections, they help me.With you being pregnant I don't know if they would consider giving them to you.

Actually you're only 19 weeks you would have to check k with your doctor first..
