Sciatica help!

Hi all,
Over the last few months my relatively new Enigma Echo has been giving me a bit of sciatica a day or two after a decent road ride. I've been doing a fair bit of stretching to release any tension in my lower back. My flexibility has improved and I feel relatively comfortable on the bike but I'm still getting the sciatica post ride. I thought the next thing would be to start tinkering with the geometry of the bike to make it a bit more upright? Any tips on where to start with this or even any ideas to help deal with sciatica would be most appreciated. Many thanks, Robbie

    I think the general consensus would be get a good bike fit first, And perhaps your sciatica is piriformis syndrome.

    go to an oestiopath to sort out your sciatica, then get back on the bike and see how it is
