Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to sciatica or back muscle strain. An examination with an orthopedician 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 Aceclofenac, muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside and neurotropic drugs. I also advise muscle strengthening exercises and Physiotherapy if it last longer.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if any thing not clear.
Thanks.
