I recently-last weekend-began experiencing sciatic pain in my right glute muscle, hip area which was probably caused by my mattress and sleeping position. I just worsened the pain, which is now bordering on excruciating, today while walking strenuously up and down hills carrying a lop-sided load for 6 hours at my work. I tried to compensate with my movements by favoring one leg over the other which has now given me knee pain as well. I won`t be able to rest for the next couple of days either, but the weekend is coming. Are there more suitable resting positions-I sleep basically in a fetal position on my right side? Are there any exercises/massages I can do to help? I was considering purchasing a memory foam mattress topper. Could this help?
