Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
If your pain increases after taking medrol (methylprednisolone) and you does not seem to be improved then it is better to stop the tablet taking further.
Muscle spasm could be the side effect of this steroid which also the reason to ask you to stop it further.
For,sciatica pain you should see your treating physician who will try it evaluate it further and can give you some alternative treatment.
Hope this will help you.
