Sciatica and pain Dam Back .. Help

It's tough and I feel for you. About 7 years ago I blew out my L5 and spent 2 months on the floor barely able to crawl to the bathroom because the sciatica was too painful. The longer I laid around waiting for the doctors to do something the more hopeless I became. Being addicted to the pain meds made me a physiological mess too.

Like Pacuda said above, Yoga is what gave me my life back. Drinking lots of water and strengthening the core took the pressure off the nerves. Of course, doctors, pharmacists, and surgeons would love to keep you as you are and turn you into a little cash cow for the rest of your life so you have to take charge for yourself.

I also know plenty of guys that hurt their backs then added several inches around their waste making themselves worse.

I really hope ya feel better and things will eventually turn back around. Here's a great watch for some inspiration.
