Brief Answer:
Further evaluation is necessary.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service.

I have read your query and here is my advice.

In your case is necessary to get evaluated further for the cause of sciatica that you are referring.

Conditions that may cause sciatica include lumbar spine spondylosis, spondylolisthesis, herniated disc disease, etc.

Dynamic x-rays and lumbosacral spine MRI are necessary, besides clinical evaluation by your Doctor, in order to achieve a correct diagnosis and treatment after that.

Treatment modalities include rest for few days, avoiding weights, painkillers (you are using some of them), physical therapy, spinal injections and in some cases, surgery.

Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
