What does sciatica pain feel like?
I think I am starting to get this. I randomly am getting a pain that shoots alllll the way down my leg.
It doesn't last long, it's painful-- and almost feels like an electric shock vs what I would think nerve pain would feel like.
Is this sciatica?
I swear, I am getting everything full force in these last few weeks! This is why people can't stand the end of pregnancy I am guessing....

Re: What does sciatica pain feel like?
That does sound like sciatica. I haven't had it quite this bad (I'm 12.5 weeks) but I have it pretty much all day every day. To me it sort of feels like a sharp pain going through one side of my hip/butt and it sometimes go down my leg. IMO the only thing that helps me is to stretch it by getting down on all four's and rocking back and forth. Sciatica derives from the top of your butt crack  so that is the area that you need to stretch. HTH 
ETA: You may also want to look at the threads on the bottom they look helpful.

Re: What does sciatica pain feel like?
yeah-- it only lasts for a second, so it's not like it's really debilitating.
I have my other back issues to bother me throughout the day!!

sounds like sciatica. one of the ways nerve pain presents is out of the blue, like an electric shock.
i had twinges of it at the end of my first pregnancy too...
luckily in just a couple weeks this will all be over for you! hope you feel better

Mine starts by my butt and shoots down my leg. It sometimes takes my breath away. At least you got it late in the pregnancy.

Re: What does sciatica pain feel like?
sounds like the start of it.
mine starts like that...then gets to the point when I would love for someone to come saw off my leg so I don't have to drag it around town.

Re: What does sciatica pain feel like?
sounds like it. Mine staretd early around 9 weeks but didn't last long. Now at 33 weeks it started again. Feels like you described and starts in the back of my hip and goes down my leg too.
Hang in there, you'll be able to move again soon.
