Try flipping over your mattress and then rotating it front to back. That helps me.
Where is your leg hurting? In the muscle or in the joint?
Sciatica is a problem with the nerve that runs from your spine down the back of your leg. If the nerve is impinged or damaged in some way, you can get pain or other neurological symptoms down your butt, leg, and even into your foot. Usually the pain is described as "burning."
