Sex with sciatica

[Ellies_adventures]

Hi fellow LIT'rs, wondering if anyone has any tips for having sex while dealing with sciatic nerve issues?
Have only had sex twice in the past few months due to a pinched nerve in my back which has become better with physio and stretches, but having intercourse exacerbates the pain significantly. Despite the user name, i am male and we usually have fun in doggy position, missionary at the moment is even worse than doggy. Any tips from those who have experienced the same would be appreciated

This can be a tricky one. I have spinal stenosis and it gives me a lot of back problems, including sciatica.

My wife likes sex and spoon style from behind, and that doesn’t always work for me due to back pain.

Missionary off the side of the bed is a winner for us, and so is cowgirl and reverse cowgirl.

I am surprised doggy style is giving you trouble. That is one where you might be able to keep your posture in less pain, painful position.

Keep on stretching and sexercising! I have found that stretching is the key, although it is never going to stop the chronic condition of stenosis…

I feel your pain, L4/L5/S1 with herniated disk. I can't do missionary, can do cowgilr/reverse cowgirl for a while, but the wife has to do the work, doggy is better and so is standing, but I can't always last that long due to the pain, and she doesn't like those positions, she wants to see me face-to-face. The wife thinks it's her, but I can't convince her it's my injury that's the problem, but she thinks I'm full of crap.

Thanks wonderer and t_2k for your helpful responses.
Mine is also L4 L5, S1 , degenerative disc and some arthritis. I think some piriformis effect in the mix too, have been doing stretches and yes agree they are key. The 2nd time was a lot less painful than the first time, completed the mission in doggy, first time I had to get the missus scissors on the bed with my leg between her legs, that was the least painful way to do the deed. Keep at it guys
