Suggest Remedies For Pain In The Back, Buttocks And Through The Legs

I have a cold in my sinus. Typical symptoms. No fever. Been laying low in bed and sitting in recliner. I am 65/ weigh 146lbs. Now last nite started to have tremendous back pain and buttocks shooting down my leg all on the right side. Cannot walk. Can stretch my legs forward but backwards is screeching pain. Should I go to the hospital? Been putting heat on it then just starting ice now.
