Sciatica is not a diagnosis mam. The underlying cause needs to be addressed. A detail of type of physical exercise you are doing needs to be checked.
Secondly the problem may lie at your lower back area (lumbar region) or at your hip. That can be differentiated only by examination.
Next Steps
So avoid any aggressive physical exercises. Avoid forward bending
Hot fomentations two to three times a day at hip and back may give symptomatic relief.
Consult a Physiotherapist for examination of root cause of your condition. He will advice you with electrotherapy and exercise therapy as per your customisation.
