Yes: Sciatica is a common condition. Nerve pain is usually worse at night or when the body is at rest. See a physiatrist or neurologist for proper testing and a treatment plan. You can recover from sciatica through exercise, change in lifestyle, manipulation, and other appropriate techniques depending on the cause of the nerve pain. Seek help soon.

Meralgia: Consider meralgia paresthetica in the differential diagnosis. Sciatica is unlikely to be of burning quality. Recommend seeing a neurologist for an exam to see if this burning is in the distribution of the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh (which would confirm meralgia).

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.
