I guess you just need a better bag of words to pick from brozak. Personally, I like it because it sounds so much like nekkid.
Quick poll for whoever is reading, it's only 3 questions:
1. How old are you
2. Did you know what necking was without having to look it up just now (or yesterday when I made that post)
3. Have you ever used the term?

I'm 47 and have used necking in the last month and even used sparking, a term my late gramma liked to use for making out. My 22 yr old employee had no idea what either meant but decided both words were super fun. The scene where Bender and the Countess are sparking in the lifeboat on the Titanic with real sparks flying always makes me smile. Yes I'm old.

Yeah, I just noticed a few months ago that this time next year I'll qualify for the seniors price at the local cinemas. Fuck.

The back pain hasn't stopped and my right leg acts like a wet noodle. Every amateur doctor on earth says sciatica. I have to sit down to put on socks and pants, ffs.
I've put up with it for close to two weeks so that I don't waste a doctor visit on a prescription for "heat/ice, naproxen"

There's a stretch/excercise you can do if you have a corner of a room that will help with the sciatic nerve. I'm not sure what it's called but you get in a corner facing it and put your feet up against both walls as you can and push your penvis into the corner. I'm sure you can google and find it. It's helped me out at times that I really even didn't want to walk.

Backpain with positive lasegue test (L4)? We usually give a combo of acetaminophen, celocoxib, gabapentine and tizanidine as a one time dosage in the ER.
Some of these require bloodworks if you need them for longer time (GFR + alat, asat and alkaline phosphatase). All dependent on proper neurologic diagnosis by a physician.
This us all for symptom relief, not treatment of the underlying course (discus, cancer, infektion, autoimmune, whatnot).
Just saying it could be worth a visit to a specialist.

Been there done that and have the scar to show for it-- L5/S1 for me. Back when I first suffered the injury (lifting a 19" CRT monitor when I was 23) I spent a month using tongs to fish my socks onto my feet.
Go to a doc in a box and get a 2 week course of Prednisone or similar. If it's sciatica it will relieve the pain quite quickly. Also do exercise that stretch your lower back like fetal position, stretching over a Swiss ball, etc. If after the prednisone the pain comes back, go get an MRI.
