Brief Answer:
You need correct diagnosis of your condition.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. In my opinion, old scar has nothing to do with your back pain. I suggest you to consult your primary care Doctor and to discus the possibility of a correct diagnosis of your problem with a valuable clinical examination and imaging study of your lumbar column (MRI). There are two main possibilities of your schiatica:
1. Herniated disc disease
2. Degenerative column disease.
Treatment modalities should be clear once correct diagnosis is made.
