Make an appointment with your general doctor ASAP, back pain that makes it incapable to sit isn't a good sign.  A lot of the time if some back problems are caught early you can avoid serious injury!

i agree, make sure there is an xray of this to make sure its not really serious,

 

if you know its not, you can try and lay on your back, bring your knees up to your chin, also in fetal position and bring knees up,

 

when in bed, lay on your side, and put a pillow between your knees it lift your leg to the same height as the rest of your body and takes stress off of your lower back, your spine and l4 and l5 could be compressing,, thus pain in the sciatic nerve,

 

hope this helps,
