Extra Weight While Pregnant May Result In Sciatica
The Uterus Compresses The Nerve, Leading To Leg Numbness
Pregnancy has been usually related to back pain, due to the extra weight the woman has to carry. Another condition related to additional weight is sciatica, which is the inflammation of the sciatic nerve. This is the longest nerve in the body, beginning in the lower back, passing through the butt, and into the thigh. It also goes below the uterus, which compresses the nerve as the baby grows. It causes numbness on the legs and feet. Swimming can help relieve the nerve pressure and inflammation. Click here for more info.
