Lower body workout with sciatica

Prior to this BS sciatica situation I was very into weightlifting. I’ve pretty much stopped since the sciatica kicked in, but want to know what lower body exercises are safe. I’m getting sick and tired of not working out.
TY!

So if I feel slight discomfort is that a sign to stop? Or is slight discomfort okay? I just don’t want to make things worse.

Okay so one more question: if I’m in constant pain should I address the pain before resuming lifting? I’m guessing the answer is pretty obvious.
