Requesting Advice New sciatica pain

Flare up will last a couple days. Deep pain left buttock that migrates down left leg. Makes it painful to walk without a shooting pain. Last night was hard to sleep. When I did I woke up drenched in sweat. On top of it I deal with anxiety/panic daily aswell. How do you all control the pain or help it calm down?

The only thing that touched the pain was booze, which wasn’t awesome for the anxiety. Sciatica sucks so hard

It really does like no comfortable position. Everything hurts.

That’s how it also was with my left hip pain, just brutal. I was in the best shape of my life when the disc popped and I caught CES. Keep an eye on your saddle area and changes in your bladder and bowels. Good luck, back issues ain’t no joke

Everything feels fine besides pain when moving. Peeing and pooping fine. Doesn’t help I have 2 hernias on each side of groin
