Ok: First ensure the diagnosis is accurate. Not all symptoms in the leg are sciatica. Good thing is you may successfully manage your symptoms with conservative options including anti-inflammatories (nsaids) if you have no medical contraindications, at times adding neuropathic type medications could also be benefitial. Additionally, physical therapy, home exercise programs, and/or spinal injections.

Stretching: Many times acute sciatic pain will resolves after stretching the area abit. The muscles will loosen up and help resolve pain. If not, then consider further imaging studies to see which exact nerve in your spine is getting pinched for further treatment options.
