Hello,

This might just be a temporary situation that does not require any immediate medical attention. From your symptom, it seems it might be problems with compression of nerve probably the sciatic nerve maybe due to long sitting or could be of unknown cause. Either way, I feel you should allow another 48 hours to see how it develops. Normally you should feel better soon enough but if it persist or aggravates, do not wait up to 48 hours before going to the clinic.
Hope this helps.
