Normal to have nerve-pinching type pain in bum/legs?

[Julia]

Hi Mums,

Just a quickie - is it normal, after birth (well, 11 weeks later) to have sensitive areas in thighs and bum? I keep thinking I am pinching nerves in bum and legs - really bad during night and after exercise. Normal?? Common?

That sounds like sciatica to me. I would get it checked out!

Thanks, Moss.....yes I am sure it is sciatica. Had a really bad bout last night and could not sit or lie down with the pain. My hubby was sent to Tesco to get the strongest painkillers he could by and a back heat belt. Even called the out of hours doc for help....

Will def get it checked out....
