my advice to you is to quit asking medical questions on a political forum, and go see a doctor.

Ditto that. He has diagnosed it as Sciatica but doesn’t say where the pain is. Sciatica usually has an underlying cause which can be aggravated by injury.
I think that's an approach to be very careful of. Some of the worst advice on back pain comes from the medical doctors, as I found out to my chagrin. Their advice of muscle relaxants, hot packs, and initiating exercises while in pain was absolutely worse than just resting.
When I went to a wise (not a foolish) chiropractor (and there are quite a few fools in that business, IMO), I barely crawled in, but walked out. And save a couple of instances needing brief care, I kept on alking without pain.
The best people for muscle/joint injuries are experienced trainers of athletes who deal with this all the time, if disease or surgical procedures are not in the picture.
