Sciatica: Try ibuprofen, naproxen, gentle exercise, stretching. If this doesn't help you should see a spine specialist.

Many Possibilities: Depending on how long it's been going on, i would consider an evaluation by a spine specialist. Sometimes it could be a muscle imbalance, early onset arthritis or scoliosis. Also could be a pinched nerve/herniated disc. Either way it might be good to figure it out and get appropriate treatment.
