Brief Answer:
Get x-ray done.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your problem.

You are right its mostly sciatica.

Usually back/ butt pain is managed with pain-killers till 1 month period. If it persists beyond 1 month, then further investigations are done. Since you have a bad pain I will suggest the following:

- Butt pain can be due to many reasons. You should get x-ray lumbosacral spine done in AP and Lateral done send us report or discuss it with your doctor. Only then further management can be advised. From x-ray I want to know the present condition of intervertebral space and vertebrae.

- Avoid heavy weight lifting pushing and pulling heavy objects, because it will further increase back pain.

- You can take 1 tab aceclofenac+thiocolchicoside three times a day, 1 tab pregabalin at night.

- Apply hot packs for 30 min in morning and evening .

I hope it helps.

You are welcome to ask further health related queries.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
