Symptom Vs Cause: Sciatica is the symptom of leg pain caused by a disc herniation or narrowing where the nerve exits the spine. A disc herniation is a outpouching of the disc from its normal place into the spinal canal or on the nerve and can be a source of pain in the back or down the leg . The nerve then goes to the muscle which can then hurt, spasm or feel sore or irritated.

Sounds like you are: In good hand with a good referral from someone who has evaluated you. I'd see if ortho would put you on cancellation list maybe to be seen early.
