Sciatica: It sounds like you have sciatica, an inflammation of the sciatic nerve that runs from your buttocks down the back of your leg. Prolonged sitting can worsen this. If you are not allergic, take an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen 3 times daily with food. A heating pad or warm moist compress will help too. Do gently stretching exercises in the evening.
