One legged upper back

The sciatic nerve strikes again. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to get this business sorted out. The pain is constant and nearly everything aggravates it still. (pain hasn't gone up or down though, which I think is good) Hopefully it's something simple that can be fixed quickly. I've been stretching a lot too with piriformis streches and some deep lumbar stretches. When the pain hits, these regions seem to tighten up, which exacerbates the nerve. Stretching seems to temporarily improve the pain free range of motion, but as soon as I trigger it again, they tighten up. :(

1These did not feel good at all on my bad leg. I had to stop to let it settle which really detracted from the reps.
