How To Get Out Of Bed!

Recently diagnosed with sciatica on my right side. The pain is manageable if I’m standing or walking. Sitting is very uncomfortable; however, the pain to get out of bed is excruciating and I literally can not walk or bend down without assistance for about a half an hour after I get up. I’ve got the pillow between the legs. I sleep on the opposite side, use lidocaine cream and take gabapentin and Tylenol….nothing helps. Any suggestions?
