Sciatica vs meniscus: During pregnancy, women do have increasing release of relaxation hormones. It makes then prone to soft tissue injuries, including meniscal tears to the knee, or developing sciatica due to disk laxity, or nerve compression secondary to the womb pressing on some of the initial branches of the sciatic nerve. Discuss these possiblities with your physician.
