Your sciatic nerve is pinched in your lumbar region.
Chris-
Do you remember me coming home early from a certain school at Fort Chaffee? I couldn't get up off of the firing line without help. (I think Dolan tried to crush us under our rucks, and it apparently compressed something in my back).
It was my sciatic nerve.
It would come and go randomly, but has since developed into a more frequent nuisance, to some varying degree of discomfort, over the years. It is now constant.
Aleve sometimes helps. Otherwise, I've learned to live with it. I don't like it, but have accepted it for the most part.
Good luck.
