What causes the sciatic nerve to become pinched, then “released”?

309 views

I may be wrong, but my understanding of when I get that unbearable pain is because the sciatic nerve is pinched due to various reasons. My question is, after it is pinched what causes whatever caused the pinching to release it? How do muscle relaxers help?

I hope my questions make sense.

In my case, it’s because one of my discs slips out of my spinal column and presses against the sciatic nerve, “pinching” it. Muscle relaxers help relieve tension and the disc can move back into place. Pain killers to further relieve muscular tension, hot baths to take gravity off the spine, sleeping with a pillow between the knees, and various exercises (like exercise trampolines) all help as well.
