HI
Thank for asking to MCM
It may too early to say anything it is better to try some symptomatic medicine first if every thign becomes alright then forget every thing if does not give any relief then the investigation has to be taken in hand then and then the picture will be cleared whether it is sciatica or any thing else, till then try acetaminophen+Diclofenac+chlorzoxazone thrice day with bed rest try little try relaxation therapy too I hope this will go away, have nice day.
