Sciatica to A&E or not?

mums net hive can I have your opinions please. My sciatica has flared up extremely badly. It started just before lockdown and has got worse. I lifted my 19mo out his cot on Sunday morn and something crunched. Since then I've been barely able to move and am regularly in tears with the pain. It comes on in waves so much worse than induced labour! It is much worse at night. I can no longer look after my son on my own. I'm 12+3 with my 2nd aswell.
I'm supposed to have a phone call from the gp this afternoon but that seems ages away and I'm not sure what they can do anyway. I did the 111 questionnaire last night and discovered that if I feel faint due to pain it says ring 999 and if day I'm not faint then it says call GP. All other symptoms were answered the same. When the waves come I can't honk of anything else.
Should I go to A&E or not?

Just got off the phone with the GP. Been told to take ibuprofen, paracetamol and to go down now and collect codiene script. 🤞 for a pleasanter evening though I'm not too convinced.
