Best thing I found was preventative, Yoga is number one, also keep moving as in motion is lotion, Stretching every day, once minimum- morning and night better, after hot shower best, stay hydrated. Stretch before and during heavy exercise like shoveling, twisting your back is brutal on your low back, those are the muscle that will form knots at your sciatic nerve and cause the pain down the leg, getting that muscle out of spasm is key to reduce the pain. Hot bath, massage,stretching(especially the one where you lay down on your back, cross your foot over your other kneecap and stretch the other way pulling slowly- I don't know the name of it)
if that doesn't work, drink heavily maybe mix in a muscle relaxant or two
good luck, I know it sucks
