Guess I am hanging out on the couch today
I woke up not feeling well and my back is really killing me! I would have sciatic pain that would come and go, but today it is kinda constant. Every time I move, it's a painful twinge that takes a few seconds to subside, so I get stuck in stupid positions...
OK, this isn't fun

Stretch it out. The worst thing you can do is just sit and relax. (I know because I did this and it made my life miserable for about 6 months).
You need to keep the muscles around the sciatic nerve loose.
Try putting cool ice packs on your hip/butt area on and off.
I just had a flare up about a week ago and it went down after 2 days of stretching and cooling the area.
Feel better!

I know this from my dad. He would be in agony any time he was out of work. Hospital visits and everything. Day he went back to work, he would be fine.

Just one suggestion... make sure that back pain is not a UTI! I hate to sound like the UTI police all the time, but I had AGONY back pain at around 24-25 weeks or so and was shocked as anything to learn it was a UTI. I even went for a massage, which actually made it WORSE. I went on antibiotics for it, but - as UTI's can do - it started also causing CONTRACTIONS and led to pre-term labor and shortened cervix. That's why it's so important to get it checked out.
Maybe just ask your doc if you can come in to do a urine test just to make sure? When I went in, they saw it was a BAD UTI immediately and hooked me up to a monitor to make sure it wasn't contractions. Better safe than sorry!
Feel better soon!
