Lower back pain due to a pinched nerve: Anything I can do for relief?

I have been experiencing sciatic nerve pain in right leg after total knee replacement in left leg. It radiates from buttock to foot. Have addressed it to surgeon and PT but neither has addressed the problem. It is getting very uncomfortable, I have Googled stretch’s for back pain relief and are doing them at home. Not getting much relief, feeling discomfort in back while laying down and having difficulty sitting upright. My next step is contacting my Pain Management Dr. as the surgeon and pt are not addressing it. Has anyone one else suffered this? I am wondering if they nicked the nerve when doing spinal block!?

I see a DO Dr for terrible back pain, mainly lower back and she does gentle OMT'S. Have you looked into that? They are trained in these, they are manipulations that relax the muscles. She gently moves my arm & legs and in 15 mins it feels like a massage. Insurance pays for it, it has really saved me. What she does usually will ask if she can just work where she see issues, my back neck & my back. She says my pelvis is out of whack & adjusts it. She can only do 3 a day as she has carpal tunnel. But it doesn't look like she is really using any hard work. It doesn't hurt. All that wasted money on massages I will never go back to one.

Have you had a current MRI? If not that is first thing to do so a neurosurgeon can see what is going on. A friend of mine, 71, had the same problem and had surgery yesterday and did well.
