Has anyone else noticed their sitting posture seems to make their sciatica flare up?

I have been dealing with sciatica for a while now and I started thinking about how sitting might be affecting it. I spend most of my time at a desk and I realized I was slouching a lot without even meaning to.

Making an effort to sit better and take breaks to walk around has not been a complete solution but I notice less stiffness after long periods of sitting. It seems like there could be a link between posture and the pain but I am not totally sure how big of a difference it makes. Walking breaks seem to help me the most so far. I think small changes like that are what stand out.

Other people might have seen similar things and I could be oversimplifying it. That part about feeling less stiff is easy to miss at first.
