I am having pain in my lower back from the left side to the right side.I believe it is sciatica. I was taking I B profen and it helped but now that does not even help.sitting its a bit better  laying on a flat surface also helps Need to get rid of this ASAP
Hi with details you have written, your pain is not sciatica, it is called lumbago. In my opinion you should take painkillers, 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.
