Sciatica

I searched on the term sciatica but found very little. If this has already been discussed just point me at the discussion.

About two days ago I had pain that felt like an ice pick sticking in my lower right back. Then it began radiating down into my right quad. Went to the doctor and was diagnosed with sciatica. Not sure what I did to piss off that nerve but apparently I did it. He put me on a steroid (methylprednisolone-4MG), an NSAID (Voltarem-75MG), and Flexeril-10MG. The pain comes and goes and is still very sharp.

My question is this: has anybody figured out an exercise or stretch that made their sciatica less frequent/painful? When the pain hits my quad it feels like a painful muscle spasm so I thought an exercise or stretch migh help. I've tried the standard stretches but no luck.
