It does sound like: sciatica, and what you mentioned happening recently likely contributed to cause this problem. Sciatica is a nerve impingement syndrome that occurs specifically to the nerve that leads out of your spine into your buttock and down your leg. It can improve with back stretching exercises daily, taking Naprosyn or Ibuprofen daily, and weight loss. If the condition does not improve, you need a MD.
