Lumbar spine problem ie bulging or herniated disc causes sciatica pain. This pain may also arise due to bone changes such as spinal contractions or stenosis, osteoarthritis, or degenerative disc disease or any other spinal problem. There is pressure on the sciatica vein, after which the symptoms of sciatica begin to appear.
In pregnancy, sciatica pain due to a herniated disc is not common, but sciatica symptoms may occur due to back pain in pregnancy. About 50 to 80 percent of women have back pain.
Symptoms of sciatica can also come due to muscle tension and joint instability. Pelvic bone pain, difficulty in the sacroiliac joint due to difficulty in any muscle of the litter, may cause sciatica to the pregnant woman. It is a common cause of sciatica in pregnancy.
This is due to the increase of pregnancy hormone called relaxin which causes the ligaments, the structures connecting the bones to loosen or be pulled.
The weight of the baby may also cause pressure on the axes and pelvic area. Sometimes, the position of the baby also creates pressure on the sciatica.
A pregnant woman may experience the following symptoms of sciatica:
- Occasional or persistent pain on one side of the ax or leg.
- In the path of the sciatic nerve, from the axes to the back of the thigh and leg pain.
- Feeling sharp, stinging and burning pain.
- Feeling of weakness, numbness or stinging needles in the affected leg or leg.
- Difficulty walking, standing, or sitting.
You can get rid of sciatica pain with the help of massage and some exercises. If there is still no reduction in this pain, then the doctor can block the vein to reduce steroid injection or pain.
Back pain can be avoided with the help of regular stretching and exercise. Avoid carrying any heavy goods in pregnancy.
