Hello,

I had gone through the case and found that it might be sciatica pain. So if pain is severe then take mild painkiller and go for physiotherapy.

If pain is mild then take painkiller and do exercise under good supervision.

Avoid long time sitting and standing in one position. Avoid high heel and bending forward.

Hope my answer will be effective for you.

Thanks
