Yep, had it real bad 15 years ago - I was 48 then. Noticed it first when riding motorcycles, but no great pain and carried on as normal. Then when dirt riding, I had to kick start a cantankerous high compression bike. In hospital the next day unable to move.
No amount of physio had any effect. Pain was tremendous and I would be up three times a night to slowly walk around to ease the pain.
Consulted doctors, physios, and chiros. What cured me in the end after three months of agony was the Chiro - not in his consulting rooms (some of the stuff was just hocus-pocus), but an simple exercise he gave me to do.
Stand back against wall - pull one knee up to chest and hold for 5 seconds, pull up with arms a few times. Do same for other knee.
Repeat for around 3 minutes.
Alternatively, lie flat on floor and draw knee up to chest and hold.
After doing these exercises for around 4 weeks I was completely cured, and the sciatica has never returned.
