Hi You have sciatica (R) leg and the pain is getting worse, with some nunbness , feeling of pins and needles and now calf pain. In your case I would recommend pain killers , muscle relaxants , neurotin and complete bed rest for 7 days. If there is no or less improvement , then I would confirm the diagnosis by getting an MRI of lower back.
