HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorI have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to sciatica or back muscle strain. An examination with an orthopedic will give clue for this and X-ray followed by MRI of Lumbosacral spine if needed to rule out this. In such cases I advise my patients with NSAIDs like Diclofenac, muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside and neurotrophic Chat Doctor.  I also advise muscle strengthening exercises and Physiotherapy if it last longer. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.
