Sciatica is the term for the pain that travels along the nerve, typically on one side of the body.

I developed sciatica when I was pregnant with my first child. I used a combination of exercise and massage to ease the pain. I’m pregnant again, and the sciatica is back. Is there a safe remedy I could use?
