Sciatica or PN: It could be due to pinching of your sciatic nerve or peripheral neuropathy of many different types! Could be that your pyriformis muscles are too tight or your lumbar spinal disc problem. Could be due to diabetes, multiple sclerosis, other autoimmune diseases, thyroid problem, vitamin deficiency or other metabolic causes or neurological diseases. The bottom line is you should see a doctor!

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.
