Leg pain: Try sleeping on your stomach with two pillows under your pelvis to decompress the nerves of your low back. These are the nerves involved in sciatica. If the pain is that bad the I suggest you follow with a neurologist or back specialist. leg pain can occur from a myriad of different reasons.
