    Yes. It sounds like a sciatic nerve problem.
     The burning is most likely from inflammation. Ibruprophen will help, but you should not take it on an empty stomach.
     You should see a neurologist or a bone doctor for tests.
    The nerve on that side is probably pinched. You might have a bad disc in the lower back that is causing this.
