Suggest Treatment For Sciatica On Left Buttocks Region
Hi there I m currently 30 weeks pregnant and suffering with awful sciatica on my left side, my buttock cheek keeps bruising, is this normal? Also I keep getting an awful sensation in my legs especially at night when trying to sleep, it isn t painful but very irritating it makes me feel the need to move them constantly and getting comfortable with it seems impossible, it feels like a creeping feeling in my legs, my arms have started doing the same too just recently, any advice would be greatly appreciated, kind regards Charlotte Roberts

Hello Charlotte and welcome.
Sciatica does indeed cause irritation, pain and frustration. The description provided by you of having increased discomfort while lying in bed is also typical for sciatica and I would advise pain management medication along with a tablet containing vitamin B3, B6 and B 12. But the bruising is something which could possibly be u related and will need an elaborate evaluation, so please do visit your doctor for the same.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
