Brief Answer:
Have rest and use advil, wait some days before consulting orthopaedic surge

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to "Ask a doctor service" . I read your query and here is my advice.

The sciatic pain you are feeling may be related to foundation training you lately had to strengthen your back.
I think you did overuse back and overstretched it.
I can suggest you to have rest, use antinflamatory drugs such advil or naproxen for pain and use cold and warm compresses on your back.
Wait for some days to a week for symptoms to go away.
If pain doesn't get better but still continues consult your orthopaedic surgeon.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
