Lay on your back with your knees bent, wrap a strap or scarf under your right knee, then put your left foot on your right thigh close to knee, pull the strap so that your right leg rises...this should cause a pull on your left buttuck and helps release the pain.

Heat/ice
For acute sciatica pain, heat and/or ice packs are most readily available and can help alleviate the leg pain, especially in the initial phase. Usually ice or heat is applied for approximately 20 minutes, and repeated every two hours. Most people use ice first, but some people find more relief with heat. The two may be alternated to help with sciatica pain relief.

Also, medication such as ibuprofen, naproxen or oral steroids.

You can also try accupuncture, massage therapy or manual manipulations.

There are usually 4 causes for sciatica pain. You can ask your primary care physician and possibly get a referral to see a Neurologist Dr.
