Sciatica?: Although more details about your symptoms are needed for diagnosis, most likely it is due to irritation or compression of the Sciatic nerve that begins at the lower back an radiates along the back of the leg. Apply ice packs, use medications for pain and inflammation.. for more persistent pain, you may need steroid injections and physical therapy (consult a neurologist)
