No she said it’s because iv started running. I did mention to her that could it be that and she didn’t really answer me.

Last night I worked all eve I didn’t have 1 niggle but then I will get up from sitting and it starts to hurt 🤔 mainly under my bum and down the back of my leg. Xx

Do you know if for sure you have sciatica? you'll soon know it with the terrible shooting pain down the outside then down the inside of the leg. My wife being a graduate has had sciatica attacks, way before she ever started running, but she's not had an attack for a while now, if anything the attacks improved while she was doing her running training schedule, she always kept moving, and always found she had an attack come on while sitting and just getting up..so sciatica has never put her off running...
