I think your physio doesn't assess properly. This needs to be checked thoroughly because any condition if not properly diagnosed will remain same.
Next Steps
visit clinic once

Firstly if it is sciatica you will need to find its cause, to know which exercises would best suite you.
Electotherapy is essential for you. So I would suggest you go to a nearby physiotherapy centre and take the electrotherapy for at least 5 days and perform all exercises as told.
Sciatica could happen again after a few days if you don't do stretching and exercises.
Nothing else can cure your pain
Next Steps
take electrotherapy
perform regular exercises and stretching

Sciatica can be treated by proper Physiotherapy.
First electro therapy will be used then exercises will be taught which you have to do continuously for 3-4 months for best results.
