Highly variable: Can't really give specific answer.Could resolve spontaneously.May not.Sciatica usually refers to a pain syndrome in the low back, butt, &/or leg.Tingling is a 'paresthesia' - abnormal sensation, not usually assoc'd w/sciatica.Could be due to lots of things like disc injury, spinal or sciatic problems, vitamin deficiency, etc.A good history & phys. incl. osteopathic hands-on exam might find cause.
