Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi with details you have written , your pain is not sciatica , it is called lumbago.In my opinion you should take pain killers , muscle relaxants and physiotherapy. Avoid heavy weight lifting , forward bending and prolonged sitting. If there is no relief in one week, go for MRI Back.
