Has anyone explored whether you are dealing with pain from your sciatic nerve?

If that is the issue, ice, stretching and exercise are your best treatment. When my sciatic nerve flares, I lay on 2# bag of frozen peas or corn, and once the pain subsides, I begin gently stretching and moving the leg. You can find a number of good stretches online. Then I get up and WALK, Walk, walk - as you described, sitting is the enemy.
Does this sound like something you can try? Can you find work that keeps you moving and not sitting at a desk? Or a workplace that uses adjustable workstations?
