Hi Linda
I'd suggest she needs to get assessed by a 
physio, used to dealing with pregnant women, if it's through tight buttock 
muscles (piriformis) massage to release these muscles can often really help, 
otherwise it might come from lumbar spine, position of baby, etc. I've 
got info on trained pregnancy massage therapists around Sydney area if that 
helps, but best to get assessed first.
Hope she gets some relief!
Julia Willoughby

  hi all hoping to get advice
  
  A friend of mine is 22 weeks pregnant with 
  her first baby. From 17 weeks she has suffered from siatica pain 
  that is progressively getting worse. I would be appreciative for any 
  and all advise that you may be able to dig up.

Dear 
Linda

The 
options open to your friend include seeing either a physiotherapist, osteopath 
or chiropractor. Ideally see a professional that has a special interest in 
pregnancy. All use different techniques with varying degrees of 
success.

There 
are special pregnancy exercises that can help elevate backache in pregnancy - 
your friend would need to be shown how do do these exercises. A physiotherapist 
or some midwives will be able to show your friend these 
exercises.

Cheers

Jane
