No: Sciatica may only apply to the symptoms in your legs. For a full evaluation, see your primary care physician, who might end up referring you to a neurologist. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/sciatica.html

No: sciatica refers to pain in the sciatic nerve region, usually starting in the low back or buttocks and shooting down either leg. You having symptoms of neuropathy, or disease of nerves. I would see a Neurologist
