Need an exam to tell: Sounds like it has components of muscular, joint, and nerve compression and unlikely to be as simple as a one word description. You are a little young for degenerative spine conditions and Radiation of sciatica to the inner thigh is rare. With your history of type1 diabetes you should see someone for an exam if the pain continues.

Sciatica: The pain that you describe is likely due to a pinched nerve root in the low back (sciatica). Compartment syndrome occurs after trauma to the lower leg or arm and is a medical emergency. Bleeding occurs in a fascial compartment of the arm or leg that leads to pressure on and damage to muscles and nerves. See a neurosurgeon for evaluation and treatment of the back and leg pain.
