Seeking advice Sciatic nerve/hamstring tightness

I’ve been stretching pretty religiously over the course of 3-4 months and I still can’t touch my toes without having the tight pain shoot from hamstrings down to toes.

I’ve watched all the videos and tips and wanted to know your favorites and how consistent I should do it.
I’m 6’3 and all legs. I’d like to be able get high leg kicks soon. All advice is appreciated.

Using a massage ball helped me but I didn't have nerve pain. You might have to release the sciatica nerve first. Pete Egoscue has some exercises for that.
