I have a friend who had
sciatica, he did a form of physical therapy, some yoga type exercises
for a while, and it freed up the trapped nerve that was carrying on down in his leg. So, if the MRI shows that's what you got, despite opposing findings, docs will usually start out with the moderate route, of physical therapy, keeping your medicines in place, and if you don't get relief that way, perhaps they might offer surgery to free up that nerve.
