Answer 1

There are several treatments for Sciatica. I had something similar with a herniated disk in my back. First of I suggest you see a Doctor to examine options for medicine or maybe surgery. I also had physical therapy which was tough at the time but helped a lot. As for your job most placed wont fire you due to health problems. It may be something to take up with HR.

Answer 2

yoga ! learn to stretch , when you get up in the morning go for a walk that will stretch the legs , also when you shower after the walk stretch in the shower thats how i got rid of it when i was young it was caused by sitting in my car

Answer 3

You ask your Doctor to refer you to an Orthopaedic specialist. He has to do so if you ask, especially if you have lost your job through it. Many years ago I had the same problem was given endless pills only through my persistance was I seen at hospital and ended up with an operation.

In the meantime you could try an osteopath or a chiropractor.

Good Luck, I know the frustration you feel.
