Usually the piriformis muscle will cause your sciatic nerve to flare up. I have found some stretches that help when mine is flared up. There are a few that I like and they should provide relief. There are too hard to explain so here are some links. Take some ibuprofen if you have some to help reduce swelling and pain.

I take a hot bath and do stretches while in the tub. The hot water makes it easier and takes the pressure off the lower back. Try to reach your toes and bring your foot as close as you can to your head. If you have a muscle relaxer, take that as well. This always works for me.
