    Unfortunately any sort of cream or remedy you put on it will not help in the long rung because they are designed to cover up the pain signal. A chiropractor is still your best bet because he will work on getting rid of the underlying factor. If cost is the issue and you live close by one of the chiropractic colleges or universities, then go and visit the student clinics. They are always well supervised, and to tell you honestly, the student doctors pays a lot more attention for obvious reason.

    From the short description you've given it sounds like your Psoas muscle may be in a tight strain pattern. That has to be relaxed. Also you'll probably need to work on your abdominal muscles to counter the powerful Psoas. But beyond this any remedy you find without first proper consultation is just short term solution even if the pain goes away by itself after a few days.

    I cured my sciatica with this natural treatment ( http://cure-sciatica.info/ )

    Normally, I would not answer a question like this as my expertise is generally in medication but I had severe sciatica while I was pregnant with my 3rd child (after having had twins) and I had sciatica so bad that I was finding it difficult to walk. I tried massage therapy and physical therapy and could not take medication

    I went to the chiropractor and the pain was instantly relieved. My hips and lower back were out of alignment because I had carried twins the year before. On occasion a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) can also work but they usually only work on one joint at a time - the chiropractor will do your whole back which works faster. Anyone who does not believe in chiropractors will tell you they are quacks - don't listen.

    I don't necessarily believe that chiropractors can cure things like diabetes but they can definitely relieve some types of back pain especially if a pinched nerve is involved which is usually the cause of sciatica.

    You should get yourself checked out, you shouldn't mess around with back pain.

    If your not asthmatic, any anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen should be ok. Make sure your not allergic to the ingredients. Paracetamol is also a nice pain killer to start with.

    Does your back pain increase on coughing/sneezing? Do you have any pins and needles? What position does it get worse in?

    If it does get worse on coughing/sneezing, that could indicate a disc problem, but make sure you go to your doctor just to be sure.

    Hot water bottles/any source of heat is a nice treatment too, and can help decrease muscle spasm in your back.

    Just try to keep it moving, the worse thing you can do for your back is to keep still all day because it'll stiffen up like nothing on earth. Just dont do any heavy lifting/strenuous exercise...and go to to the doc!

    Hope you get better!
