My recurring sciatic pain just suddenly stopped. only 2 days into an occurance this has never happened before. what could this mean?

Sciatica: I am glad you are feeling better. It is possible that you have a disc bulging on l5-s1 lumbar spine. The natural progression is periods of pain with resolution of the pain when the disc returns back into it normal position. Heavy lifting or twisting movement if the back can aggravate your condition from time to time. Another possibility is muscle spasms. The may also vary from time to time.
