Yes: Could be sciatica or irritation of L5 nerve.

Couple things...: Where did they place the prolo? Prolo can cause inflammation, as it's supposed to do. If the injections were done near the nerve roots, this inflammation and can cause nerve irritation. Any prolo injections in the glutes? This can lead to inflammation around the sciatic nerve. This can subside on its own but should get better soon. Any chance needle hit nerve root or sciatic? Ask your doc.
