I ended up with sciatic nerve damage after hysterectomy in early 80's....and so deal with pain in the "ars" for 30+ yrs...I do stretching for the sciatic and have done this for years. It can flair with stress, but I stretch it out daily and again with all the work I do before I get out of bed and before I go to sleep and often in between. So I've had nerve damage from hysterectomy and hip replacement in 2010....hope I can avoid a knife to my body for the rest of what is left of me. I did a lot of docs over the years but now hardly ever see them....I've learned so much over the years on my care. good wishes.

again spineuniverse.com has a lot of exercise instructions.
