sounds like you need to talk to your dr.  I had sciatica quite a few years back after i had my daughter.  It finally went away but I just wanted to tell you that it was a long slow recovery.  I am a runner...I didnt run for quite a few years.  You may recover quicker...we are all different.  I walked and took yoga.  When it hurt, I took a bath and had a glass of wine...haha, just to relax.  I wish you a speedy recovery.  Take it easy when it hurts, your body is trying to tell you something..

Boy, is that nerve pain intense! You need to quiet things down, inflamation (inflammation) wise. Prednisone is a nasty drug, but a couple of days will do the trick without compromising your life, followed by a week on ibuprufin. You should see a pain specialist.
