My sciatica went away when my health improved. Not saying this works for everybody, but you really should get a hold of books by Dr. Joel Fuhrman and Dr. Neal Barnard. Apply their learnings to your own lifestyle and get healthy. That way, even if you still have sciatica, it is much more bearable because you weigh less, and are much more comfortable in your body due to healing all of your chronic nagging health problems. And if your sciatica does end up being the kind that needs surgery to resolve, you will do much better if you are 100% healthy and non-obese when you undergo that surgery. Even the standing desk is a lot easier to manage for a person who is healthy and not obese. The above mentioned medical doctors are leading lights in a movement to sift through the medical literature and apply what has been learned to everyday living in a holistic way, taking all of the learnings into account. They, and other doctors who are doing the same thing, can back up every piece of advice that they give. In other words, they teach the science of health not faddism and quackery.
