Anyone experienced cyclical sciatica before their period and sought help?

Apologies if this isn’t the right place to post this (also posted on women’s health). But I’m hoping someone can give me some information about cyclical sciatica? I feel like I’m going mad but I’ve getting back pain that resembles sciatica exactly (better laid certain ways, radiating down hips and legs, worse on movement). It’s honestly unbearable at times, then it just goes. I’ve been tracking the pain and it’s always in the week before my period. At its worst I’ve been bed bound and knocked sick (literally) by the pain.
if anyone has any information on how to get help with this I’d really appreciate it, I thought I can manage because it’s just once a month but it’s started to really get me down and impact my life quite considerably.
thank you

I have this, amongst other symptoms which sent me to the doctors and now have a diagnosis of adenomyosis. Currenly waiting for a referral to a gynaecologist
