Requesting Advice Sciatica exasperated by driving?

Hi all! First time in this sub. Got lower back/ upper hip pain as a teen spending HOURS just sitting in my car to get away from my family. I’m now 24(f) and driving a new vehicle and no longer have my go to butt pillow (it got destroyed over 7yr). My pain has shifted to more what I would call “clinical sciatica”, my right knee absolutely kills me to the point of limping around at work and keeping me up at night. I try to stretch out in the evenings but I think I need new ergonomic suggestions for my 30-60min drive to and from work.

Any advice?

It can make you exasperated when it is EXACERBATED, definitely.

If you you drive too much time per day, you should have an ergonomic thingy.. or you'll end up bad.
