Sciatica: Sounds like sciatica. If not debilitating and no bowel/bladder issues, then i rec a low back exercise program. Orthoinfo.Org, click on lower back, find low back pain exercise guide. Take anti-inflammatories (ibuprofen or naproxen) per directions on the bottle unless you have a medical contraindication.
