Your symptoms suggest sciatic nerve irritation, where a nerve in your lower back is compressed or inflamed. For temporary relief, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen, or anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or naproxen. Applying ice or gentle heat to your lower back may also help ease the discomfort. Avoid strenuous activities but try to stay gently active. Since this is likely nerve-related, it is best to consult a doctor. They can provide a proper diagnosis and discuss prescription options like gabapentin for nerve pain, or recommend physical therapy. Please seek immediate care if you experience leg weakness or numbness.
