Hi Rose
The true answer is it depends on exactly what is causing your sciaitca!. If you have a slipped disc in your lower back this is likely to be causing pressure on one of the adjacent nerve roots thus causing your sciatica!. It depends on how bad the bulging disc is!. These sorts of things can sort themselves out on their own or with the help of physical therapy (e!.g!. physiotherapy or osteopathy) but it is not uncommon for it to take from 3 and 12 months!. So a 3 month history is relatively early days I am afraid!.
If it is the disc it is very important to eliminate anything that maybe aggravating the bulging disc!. So no slouching in comfy sofas, no excessive curving or bending the back or twisting when lifting!.
If you want to try something for yourself aimed a self help for the disc bulge, you could consider buying an inversion table (they cost around
