Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

See a physician: My clinical sense is that you've got several things going on - i.e. Hip and back contusion/sprain from the fall, plantar fasciitis causing heel burning, and perhaps a systemic condition causing weight loss. The best course is to see a physician for further evaluation.

Specializes in Pain Management

Sciatica: Pain in the distribution as you suggested describes the pattern of the nerve that travels in the leg called the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is not the cause of the pain source, it is the result of an irritated nerve typically in the lumbar spine (low back) which are caused by herniated disks, spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease requiring further evaluation by a spine specialist.
