What's the diagnosis?  Why are you going to PT?  What's the root cause of your pain?

Hi, just been told it’s severe sciatica, X-ray showed something at L5, S1....

Pain is all across lower back going into hips , walking is quite painful too.

Have got an MRI booked for January 

Thanks

The MRI should (maybe) give you a definitive diagnosis regarding the root cause of your main.  I've had this many, many, many times over decades.  Misalignment of hips/pelvis and locked SI joints can all impact the sciatica nerve.  In those cases, a chiropractor fixed me up in a few minutes to a few weeks, depending on the cause.

Only one time did were the x-rays and MRI inconclusive so my neurosurgeon had to go in.  Found a bone spur literally crushing my sciatica nerve root at L4/L5.  Decompressive laminectomy and spur removal took 90-minutes, same day procedure, immediate relief...done.
