A member asked:
Why does sciatica pain come and go throughout the day? and can sometimes only be in the calf?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: on where, how, and what part of the sciatic nerve is being compressed. When you move around during the day, the structures that are compressing the nerve also move around.
