Keep at it...: What you're describing sounds like what's typically called "sciatic" pain. If the pain/tingling is radiating down the leg, but your strength is preserved, then I'd recommend continuing what you're doing. With some medications, it should resolve itself over the next few weeks to months. If you have any weakness in your leg/foot, I'd recommend urgent MRI.
