Delana, I, too had sever sciatica for over two months last year. It started the day I found out I was pregnant, and lasted a month after I miscarried. Because I was pregnant, I couldn't take any pain killers, but I doubt they would have worked anyway. It goes when it goes> It was by far the most excrutiating pain I have ever had, and I know what it must have been like for you. The upswing is that I am now 10 weeks pregnant, and have not had even a twinge, indeed I have not had an ocurrence since I first got it last March.
