What is sciatica?
The sciatic nerve originates from the last couple nerve roots from the lumbar spine and then nerve roots coming from the sacrum all combine and go out into the glutes, behind the leg in the hamstring, splints in the back of the knee, and goes down to the foot. A true sciatica type pain would be anything like pain, burning, tingling, numbness, weakness, etc. that follows the area the sciatic nerve innervates, especially when it goes past the knee and into the lower leg and foot.

For most injuries, exercise is something that you will want to do right away, with some surgeries and fracture being an exception that to that rule. For instance, if you sprain your ankle or hurt your back and sit on the couch and do nothing for a month, this is probably the worst thing that you can do. A few reasons for this include inflammation will aggregate to the area and stop movement of fluid in and out of the area and get really stiff and tight.
