Hello,
In this case, it is unlikely to be sciatica and is more likely a muscular injury. I would say that as long as you are not having any pain, it would be safe to resume activity, careful at first so as not to irritate it again, and then gradually increase your activity as tolerated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
