Sciatica: You have sciatica. Avoid heavy lifting and see a physical therapist and your doctor. If you have a fever or bowel and bladder changes go to an ed.

That happens: When ones nerve is compressed in the lower back. You should mention this to your doctor. Physical therapy is a good first line treatment.
