Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to sciatica. If you upload your X ray or MRI of lumbosacral spine then it will be more helpful. I would suggest short course of muscle relaxants like Thiocolchicoside. After that I would recommend physiotherapy and muscle strengthening exercises. This is better option in than just taking meloxicam.
Thanks.
