Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having acute backache with radiation to limb. Yes it is sciatica pain. This can be due to muscle strain due to long sitting or it can be due disc prolapse. It can be confirmed by MRI of lumbar spine. Treatment of it is rest in lateral position. Analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief and vitamin B and C is useful. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
