Hip/ Sciatica Pain

Any other runners ever suffer from sciatica pain during prolonged runs? Any remedies or suggestions are welcome. I started running about 2 years ago for weight loss and over all better health and Ive lost 130 lbs. Running has become a daily regimen for me but, about 4 months ago i started to have hip pain, not muscle pain because i know what that feels like. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

I get relief from Figure 4 stretches (see videos at

do you usually run on one side of the road? since roads are a bit slanted (for drainage) try running on the other side of the road half the time. the tiny bit of difference in the slant of the road can make one leg feel shorter, and thus hip pain.0
