Can I exercise with sciatica?

In most cases, yes, and staying gently active tends to help more than bed rest. Choose positions that ease your leg symptoms, such as walking, and avoid movements that send pain further down your leg.

See a doctor urgently if you have numbness around the groin or inner thighs, difficulty controlling your bladder or bowels, or progressive weakness in your leg.
