Hi, I Have gonr through your query.the pain is not a side-affect of Augmentin.By your symptoms it looks like a lumbo-sacral strain or Sciatica.Take rest on a hard bed.You can take pain killers like Mobizox 3 times a dayalong with a combination of Pregabalin(75mg)-Methycobalamin(1500mg) at bed time.Hot compress als helps.If no relief then you may have to go in for a MRI.
