Hi,
You should get it reviewed by a rheumatologist to rule out any vasculitis rash associated with inflammatory arthritis causing sciatic nerve compression etc too and MRi or lumbar spine may also be needed as well as baseline autoimmune disorders work up. Meanwhile OTC analgesic like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen alongside Gabapentin can be helpful.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
