Sciatic Nerve ouchies

Well it appears that I may be having issues with my sciatic nerve.  Last night I developed a painful bruise on my foot that has since made my toes and lower leg all tingley.  Joy. 

The sciatic nerve is a long nerve that runs from the lower back to the back of the legs and feet.   Some of the symptoms of sciatica during pregnancy include:

• Pins and needles in the lower back or leg, possibly the affected foot.
• Shooting or burning in the leg, buttock or lower back.
• Pain in the lower back or back of the pelvis that may extend into the foot.
• Numbness in the leg or feet.

I have an appointment with a neurologist tomorrow.  I hope this is all that it is.  Although none of the symptoms included brusing.  That’s the one thing that concerns me. 

So if you don’t mind, please say a little prayer for me.   Thanks!
