darn neear ANYTHING can aggrivate sciatica pain!

have you tried prednisone? It seemed to help my father (didn't do much for me, but it did wonders for him)
Yes, being overweight can worsen just about any ailment, and can cause a lot of them.
You shouldn't stop playing unless it get's a lot worse.
Talk to your doctor, they may put you on an antiinflammatory, or reccomend you get an MRI of your lower back, just to make sure it's not a blown disk.
Good luck!

Certainly it will increase.
There is no medicine for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine.
Acupuncture is the only best treatment for sciatica. If you are young/healthy YOG(meditation) can help you.
