Dear
To be clear it is just the postural compression of the sciatic nerve.
It can be easily treated at initial stages with exercisrs and movement.Please sit errect let your spine straignt.Flex and extend the lower limbs frequently.
Mean while a topical analgesic gel along with oral tablets can be a temporary relief.
need less to say continuous travel do aggravate the conditions.
hope this helps
most welcome for further queries
