Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to sciatica pain.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest to do gentle stretching exercises.
If the symptoms continue, you may need a prescription painkiller,so I suggest to consult a neurologist.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
