I had similar pain a few months ago and thought it was sciatica, went to Dr and she referred me to physio, who said it wasn't sciatica but another nerve, anyway after 3 visits to the physio it was a lot better, so maybe you should give this a try, good luck x

I had physio for very bad sciatica and it did help a little turns out I have Sacroiliac hip dysfunction which still causes pain in my back and a vice like grip on my pelvis. I hope you can find some relief, I am rather envious as I can't swim without hurting my back further

I am so very sorry to read that you are suffering and struggling to much, and I genuinely hope that you start to feel better soon. I have a compressed sciatic nerve so you have my full sympathy.

Al my hopes and dreams for you

What you don't say is whether the doc has been involved in any of this. As cruz says it may just be worth a visit, though the painkillers may be the same.

don't apologise, we're here to listen and support. I agree it's worrying when a new slant of pain appears. Hope things are improving.
