I am 30 weeks and have had some back pain lately. I have also had some pains in my butt muscles that sometimes tend to run down the back of my leg. Is this Sciatica? My doctor said she thinks my daughter is resting on my Sciatic nerve.

Not officially diagnosed, but I have looked up the symptoms myself and concluded it to be sciatica. I have a mild case. I am 29 and in decent shape. The only concern is that the pain comes and goes but on a month to month basis. I joined a gym for about a 2 week period and my back felt the best when I was working out. Sometimes it can be disappear months. My only concern is this flaring up during BCT. Is this something I should be worried about?

I have been experiencing strong and consistent back pain for as long as I can remember (I am 25 now). It starts with a little discomfort in my lower back, and about 20 minutes later, if I don’t take pain medication, my joints will start to ache on one side (my hip, my knee, my ankle). X-rays show some minor scoliosis and a compressed disc (L4 and L5). So far, orthopedic surgeons are reluctant to do anything or even take me seriously because I’m “not old enough to be in a lot of pain.”
My question is, could this be something more than a compressed disc? I’ve heard mention of sciatica but I have no idea what that is. I can usually catch it before it gets too bad, but it takes about 4 pills a day (Excedrin, Advil, etc) and I don’t think that’s a good long term answer.
And, one last question – what can I say to the doctor to get him to take me seriously?
