Brief Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Routine sex is safe and is not related to sciatica. However, sex in unusual positions may exacerbate sciatica in person already having the problem.
Initial treatment consists of medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin capsules. These are very safe and are not associated with any significant adverse effects.
Pain killers such as diclofenac or ibuprofen tablets may be taken as and when necessary, but they should not be taken daily or for long time, as they may cause kidney injury or gastritis.
Physiotherapy is also helpful.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any more queries.

Mainly, you would need to consult a neurologist and get an MRI scan of the limbo-sacral spine done. The overall cost would be within Rs. 10,000/
