It’s an absolute b a s t a r d, really annoying.
Yes. Years a go I had it very bad to the point of acute pain for nearly two years. Horrendous time but thankfully very low issues with it now.
It's the longest nerve in your body so the pain can erupt anywhere from lower back all the way down the leg and it terminates near the little toe. Hence people get pain anywhere along the line or nerve. The nerve usually gets pinched around the waist but people often get pain once it erupts anywhere along the nerve.
I usually get "feel" a bout coming on and if I act quickly enough when I get the signal, I can avoid the pain thankfully. A decent physio should be able to help with precise exercises that can help, AS LONG AS YOU ARE SURE IT IS SCIATICA.
bUt there are habits you can develop to help limit an event...
