pain from buttocks to knee

[jedijay1]

‎Hi my name is Jedidiah. I am twenty one years old just three days ago I began to feel a pain In my left thigh it wasn't to serious and I felt it when standing up from a sitting position. Two days later once I stand up it sends a shooting pain from my buttocks down to my my knee and a bit down wards. I now feel it when sitting when lying down and when standing down which is worst. I don't have any injury around that area and I live in Nigeria. Any suggestions that you can give as to what might be wrong and probable solutions before I am able to go to the hospital. Don't have enough money to go and get the X-rays and other scans done. Thank you for your help for now I tried. Pressing with hot water and am taking a pain reliever drug called ibuprofen . Thank you.
