Sciatica: Even though you have had surgery in the past the solution for the sciatica would still most likely be achieved by conservative means. You should be re-evaluated and discover cause. Your prior history makes sciatica more likely, but some other etiology that what lead to your prior surgery possible. Physical therapy still the best bet for recovery.
