I have suffered from sciatica pain for the past 3 or so years and have had many sessions with a variety of health professionals to help alleviate the pain. My pain is only at night (whilst trying to sleep) and seems to trigger initially 2 hours after going to sleep. I have to get out of bed, walk to the toilet (urinate) which reduces the intensity of the pain and will allow me to go back to sleep for a short while and then go through the same process. I seem to be able to releive (temporarily) the pain by stretching my leg (right side) which eases a little, but as soon as I go back to sleep it starts again. I think I am in the "too hard basket" - any ideas would be welcomed.
