Hello,
I had gone through the case and found that there might be many cause of pain.
1- Lumbar spondylitis with pressing of sciatica nerve
2- Osteoporosis with sciatica
3- Muscle spasm with nerve pull
4- Vitamin D and calcium deficiency.
5- slip disc
So I will advise to go for blood test and X-ray of lumbo-sacral region to get the diagnosis.
Meanwhile take mild painkiller with hot water compressing massage.
Hope my answer will be effective for you.
Thanks
