HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you have stated three conditions here which are may not be related with each other, like sciatica, knee pain, and arm numbness, for the sciatica it is all depends upon the severity, if it is not that much severe then it would be fine, for the knee pain you have to take care for not to bend it, for the arm numbness try to maintain good posture, else this is nothing to worry, hope this helps, take care and have a nice day.
