How'd you get that? Not enough citrus?

it's an issue with the sciatic nerve that runs down from your butt to your foot. Sciatica causes extream pain down the nerve on one leg, often making it difficult to walk or sit. best we can figure is that the weight of the uterus or the postion of the baby is pressing on that nerve. I got out of bed last night to use the bathroom and promptly hit the floor...I was able to get up, but could not walk at all.

I know what sciatica is, silly, I was jokingly mistaking it with scurvy.

I am sorry you can't walk, though. Poor things!

For future reference, one tends to lose one's sense of humor when their butt hurts....*ouch*
