What exercises can be done to reduce the pain of sciatica?

I also suffer sciatica too it must be the more painful than child birth plus it last longer! I know exactly how you feel with this one. No exercises can really work the nerve has been trapped causing pain & the more swelling the more pain, the more exercise/walking etc the more pain, There are many prescription pain killers I have tried but none worked, I would sit with a heat pad just to try to help. I have tried many things but I have found once you have it, we have just got to deal with it till they actually do think of something for us.Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve or related nerve roots in the low back are compressed.
My old car use to set it off a lot, I need lumbar support on my lower back even when sitting on a chair/sofa etc, if I dont use it (towel rolled up anything really) it comes on with avengance.
Has your GP done a x-ray? they can do surgery but I did not want to do that. Your doctor may prescribe medications. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and analgesics help reduce swelling while relieving pain. NSAIDs include aspirin, ibuprofen, and prescription-strength drugs. You may also be prescribed muscle relaxants or other stronger pain medications. Epidural steroid injections (ESIs) place corticosteroid medicine near spinal nerve roots. Corticosteroid injections can reduce nerve inflammation and pain for months or longer, but ESIs are not effective for all patients.

If needed, your doctor will refer you to a physical therapist. I went to one but it just made it worse.
