anyone dealing with sciatica?

Hello! I'm 16 wks 3 days and doc says I have sciatica, I've been dealing with it for weeks now, she just gave me a muscle relaxer but it just makes me fall asleep. I've tried tylenol, heat wraps, heating pads, physical therapy and I'm starting work Thursday and it truly bothers me to stand up or even walk around.....

Does anyone have any helpful advice???? I love working and being able to walk but now its being taken away from me. HELP! :'(

Will it help me to walk around? I feel great laying g down with a heat wrap on but as soon as I stand up BOOM it hits me. Do you know of any medicine that is safe or how long this lasts for? Lol.

I work at Payless Shoes and it requires lots of moving around
