Hello,

You are right this could be sciatic nerve pain. Depending on your level of pain, you can try conservative treatment first by ice pack, stretch, and over the counter analgesia if this failed to improve your symptoms than you should seek medical advice which may require X-ray. The doctor can prescribe pain killers, physiotherapy or even spinal injection depending on each patient situation.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
