...hip arthritis plus sciatica... This is so incredibly painful. What has given me temporary relief is to lie on a 10-lb barbell wrapped in a towel (or similar object), positioning it under the hip bones. Experiment with the location. It provides a form of acupressure. If you do it just right it hurts like hell, but the pain does subside as the muscles begin to relax. And it really brings some relief. Also try icing it. Do not use alcohol as that will exacerbate the inflammation, even though it may dull your pain.

Hope you figure it out. Sciatica or any back problems are the worst!

Rocky,
I discovered this trick for sciatic pain relief you might want to try. I got one of the dog's "Kong" balls (super hard rubber balls). Lay on the floor or sit in a recliner and put it on the muscles around the pointy bone in your ass. Move it around with your weight on it massaging the tight sore muscles. You will know you are on target by how sore it feels.
It is relaxing the muscles and releasing the tension. It hurts good if you know what I mean. It will cut your recovery time down and you should find some relief pretty quick. I works for me and I have had some pretty bad bouts with that stuff.
Give it a try and let me know if it helps.
Best wishes.

Hope you are back to normal again soon. Btw I tried the hanging and swinging thing. No worky for me. Needed a cortisone shot. Temporary but I’m enjoying while I can. MRI showed 2 bulging disks, bone spurs, arthritis, fore and aft Vertebrae and stenosis .

Rocky, I actually had wondered why I hadn't seen a post from you lately. I hope your recovery is complete and quick.
