Brief Answer:
Muscle cramp or Sciatica

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Thanks for the query.

It appears that you may have suffered from a muscle cramp or soap Sciatica.

Muscle cramps can be because of dehydration, Electrolyte disturbances. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Keep well hydrated. Take Tablet Neurobion forte twice a day for a month.

Sciatica can be due to a slip down on the lower lumbar spine. This can cause pinched lumbosacral nerve.
Avoid bending forwards or lifting weights. Keep pillow behind the back while lying down. Apply hot packs to the affected region and lower back.

Get an Xray and MRI of the lumbosacral spine and upload for my review.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
