This has all the markings of sciatica. The best treatments for this is massage therapy and chiropractic care. Both of these techniques will greatly reduce the swelling and pain. I've enclosed a link where you can find a qualified chiropractor in your area.
In the meantime At night take a hot bath with 2c. of epsom salts and soak for 30 minutes. Afterwards apply an analgesic balm. These treatments will help relax the muscles, reduce some of the swelling and take down the pain. you can also use a heating pad for twenty minutes at a time several times a day.
If you have any further questions please let me know,
