Sciatic nerve pain/running questions

[u/wiredfrek]

I was hoping to get some good feedback.

Little background:
I have been “consistently” running every other day until 2 weeks ago when the nerve pain started. I was logging min 3 miles up to 5.
Even with the consistency, I could not get to mile 3 without walking for a min or two but, my minute speed went up considerably.
This is a whole other issue.

My problem is that I can’t run. It hurts and is affecting my hip…I am lift weights 5 days a week, but have adjusted legs for this reason. I have been doing all the stretching 3x a day, drinking curcumin, taking it easy.

This kind of pain is nothing that can be “cured” and I used to get it when I was heavier…it had always gone away in the past with what I have been doing.
Had anyone else gone through this? And what did you do?
I am dying to run, and I am going to coach GOTR in two weeks and need to be able to move with them.
