That being said, when mine gets really bad around the sciatic nerve (and it was really bad after 11 hours in a car and then walking all the next day) valium can be a big help for temporary relief.

Mine is in the area of my left upper glute radiating up into my lower back. I find that when I stretch my hamstrings, it's a major help. Lay on your back with one knee bent and straighten the other leg and pull it towards you. Really helps the lower back for some reason.
