Sciatica out of control

I'm 31.5 and all I can do it lay in bed and cry. I'll start with my left leg, it had had this numbness and tingling for three months and for about a month now, I have had a severe burning sensation that feels like I have set a iron on my leg and my skin is burnt. The feeling doesn't go away. It's been a constant feeling, even clothing hurts to put on. Well, about a week ago, my right leg has had a sharp  pain  from my lower back, all the  down my right side,  into my lower thigh. It hurts to  bear weigh on it, it hurts to lift my leg onto my bed, it hurts to do anything. I had said  something to my Dr about this pain and she brushed it off and told me  exercise or I can get on my hands and needs and rock back and forth.... Yeah f'ing right.. I'm a salesfloor manager for Walmart.. Does she thing I can just stop what I'm doing and get on my hands and knees in the middle of the store??  I'm in so much pain. Idk what to do.

I did go swimming and it also helped me for a little while.

And thank you for the tennis ball suggestion, I'll  have to try that.

I have the same thing. The only way I get relief is to go swimming. It feels better during and after for a couple hours but slowly makes its way back. It ***** so bad. I feel your pain. I'm 37 weeks and feel like my back is going to break.

Try putting a tennis ball between you and the wall and roll your back on it. I've had sciatica for years and its awful but that seems to help me.
