See details: Your description suggests you have sciatica which is due to a nerve root compression in your back. Try rest, heat to the area and aleve (naproxen). If the problem persists, you need to see a doctor.

Sciatic pain: Yes this sound like pain referred from the sciatic nerve being pinched in the back. Massage can help, rest and anti-inflammatories.But if the pain persists see an orthopedic specialist.
