Could Pain Between Hip And Heel Be Due To Pulled Muscle?

Hello, 12 days ago I pulled a muscle in my back by a simple bend over to pick something up from the ground. It seems to me that it has developed into sciatica in that I have strong pain when sitting that runs from my hip to my heel. I am treating my current condition with stretching and with Ibuprofen for the pain. I am continuing to work and move and am often at my desk on my knees because that is more comfortable than sitting.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
** It seems that you had a muscle pull while bending.Take proper rest. Hot fomentation and application of pain relieving gel will give you some relief in pain.
You can take pain killer like Ibuprofen one tablet twice a day after meals with antacid Omeprazole 20 mg along with muscle relaxant like chloraxazone. This will relax the sprained muscles.If the pain persists, get yourself examinned by your doctor

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
