Sciatica: It varies from person to person. Most people do fine standing. Some develop symptoms of pain when walking long distances. In some, pain is aggravated by sitiing. The natural course of this problem suggests it may get better with time and could get aggravated by heavy lifting bending or twisting. Physical therapy may be effective if also having spasms with it.
