Same as before: Sounds like you are having an acute flare of sciatica. These symptoms will usually resolve within days to weeks. Recommend OTC antiinflammatories and or acetaminophen. If this does not help the pain enough or there is weakness in the leg, then I would recommend seeing your physician for further evaluation and management.
