@yram I too have nasty sciatic pai from l1 / l5 narrowing that is not pleasant while sitting or trying to stand.The sciatica has gotten that bad that it caused poly neuropathy in my feet and lower extremeties.Gabepentin,lyrica,neurontin,amytriptyline,noratryptyline did nothing to slow down the progression to the point where I can barely walk.They ordered a mri but I cant have it done for 5 months due to the system scheduling

@yram I feel for you. I have the same thing but on my left side. Its sad how eventually you just accept the pain as part of your life. Not right, not right at all.

@yram, yup, that sounds like sciatica. There are exercises, stretches, you can do. If you want, I can see if I can find a video. (Just don’t do them if you also have lower lumbar problems. I did that once - tweaked my lower lumbar muscles - and I could barely walk for several days.)
