Sciatica makes the most simple things huge ordeals.

My lower back is in shambles at the moment. I cannot straighten myself out fully or else shockwaves of pain will radiate out. I've been moving slightly bent and tilted since yesterday morning. This is also putting stress on my mid back region due to being bent. I can barely walk. I cannot bend over or down. I also cannot look up very well. I've been getting around by clutching onto things for support. If I'm lying down I have to crawl and drag myself up.

The most simple tasks are huge ordeals. Going to the restroom isn't easy. Doing dishes isn't easy. I tried yesterday and when I bent to the lower rack I almost fell over in pain. I have no idea how I'm going to get through the grocery store later on. Getting in and out of the car was hard enough yesterday.

There are a couple stretching exercises I do for my sciatica, but it sounds like you're so far into pain land you couldn't even get in the starting positions.
I wish you the best of luck and hope you find some relief.

@forty7seventy4 It took me ages to get out of bed this morning unfortunately.

Get a chiropractor. They can help with pain, and may be able to set you up with physical therapy and or exercises to help you.

I called it my monkey walk.
Surgery was the only solution for me.

@MarineBob I do need new shoes. I haven't bought any in years.
Look up sciatica exercises on youtube
