That makes sense. I tried standing up at my desk while I scanned papers, and it seemed to make my hip hurt in a new way. I'm not sure if it was coincidental. In the past, it seemed that standing for many hours made my back and neck sore on one side. I assumed that was due to the hips and legs being asymmetrical.
Surprisingly, Aleve has helped the sciatica more than anything else and it reduces the other aches and pains too. I thought that all the over-the-counter pain medicines were about the same, but I was wrong. Live and learn.
