I experienced sciatica for about a day and thought my life was over. I'd take a kidney stone in its place any time; with a kidney stone you at least think that by moving it might help (and no fear it will last forever). Fortunately in my case I associated the sciatica to having too thick a wallet in my back pocket, and removing that fixed all. Strong recommendation to those reading here to avoid such carrying of a wallet.
