Hi!new here.

I have had sciatica for the past eight months. I fell in May of 2007 right on my tailbone on a skating ring. Just had some bruises and tail bone pain. Went to see several doctors who said it was just tail bone pain and I'll be fine. Waking helped so I was walking every day. Then I decided to get an IUD. Soon back pain got very bad. I went hiking for 2 to three hrs and several days later, pain was going down both legs along with tingling and numbness. I had an MRI which found a minor buldge around l4/L5. So my orthopedic surgeon sent me to Physiatrist who did a nerve conduction test. She said I don't have a pinched nerve. She said it was my SI joint. So I got two steroid shots which didn't work. Finally my doctor wanted me to re-check my IUD. My GYN believed it was my back and he said it can't be the IUD. SO I went with the pain for another couple more months. Finally I had on/off bleeding and I demanded an ultrasound. My IUD was in the wrong place! They took it out. My back felt somewhat better but my left leg and hip pain was still there. My friend suggested Acupuncture. First session went well. Second session, not so good. Acupuncturist did some stim after the needles which caused so much pain and my left side was numb after it. This brought back my sciatica just like after the hike. I also had a message on my left side several months ago which started this type of pain too. So my physiatrist has told me to deal with the IUD issue and make sure that didn't cause more damage. I had a pelvic MRI which showed a cut or polyp. I need more testing. I've changed my GYN and waiting for an appt with my new GYN. Could someone please tell me if they have sciatica due to IUD in the wrong place.
