Sciatica?
Posted: 01-26-08 15:57pm

"Sciatica symptoms that may constitute a medical emergency include:

*Progressive weakness in the leg
*Bladder/bowel incontinence or dysfunction."

Here is the source if needed. h ttp://www.spine-health.com/topics/cd/d_sci atica/sciatica.html

Sometimes my right leg gives out a little bit when it goes numb. And would my bladder infection have anything to do with this? I don't feel as if there is any real emergency, though.

I feel like complete crap tonight. I'm so tired and I keep crying for no reason. My back hurts, my muscles ache, I keep getting shooting pains in my back every time I sit, and I feel hotter than usual. I don't know what to do. I just want to lay down and go to sleep. I feel like everything is wrong and I can't get out of it.

I forgot to mention this. For my emotional issues, I called about counseling covered by MaineCare and I have an appointment on the first. I hope it helps.

Sciatica will be over when the baby is born. It sucks and it hurts. Mention it to your doctor at your next appt. but there isn't a lot that can (will) be done for it.

Good luck!

OH man. Maybe you're stressed from work has a lil to do with your physical, just blahness. Ya know?

I had BAD sciatica with Oni...and I only got it this time if I did too much.

The only thing I can really suggest is to just relax as much as possible and call your Dr Monday & see what they say.
