Consultation: Recommend consulting with an orthopedic surgeon or a neurosurgeon to determine the cause and the treatment options avaialable. Although not curative, acupuncture can improve pain, inflammation and decreased range of motion associated with sciatica. It is an option that you can discuss with your physician.

Pinched Nerve: Sounds like you have a pinched nerve in your back. I would suggest seeing a pain/spine specialist to evaluate you further to evaluate what level and what can be done to treat you. There are interventional treatments besides medications and surgeries that might reduce or eliminate the pain altogether.
