Sciatica. : This sounds to me like sciatica. I could be related to the compression of the spinal nerve or impingement within the spinal column. Generally speaking, first steps would be anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, combined with physical therapy. Alternately, you can pursue more diagnostic testing such as x-ray of the spine with flexion and extension views to confirm or deny I diagnosis.
