Family practice: The pain you are having is called referred pain. With some irritation to that nerve root on the left side. Probably from your lower back. Lumbar dicks can bulge and press against the nerves that go to your groin and leg. It should ce checked out if it persists.

Sciatica: Inflamation of sciatic nerve , due to excessive walking, too much exercise, picking up heavy objects and overworking the left leg. Give yourself rest and take Motrin 600 mg 3 times a day for 3 weeks. If the pain still persists, you will need a trigger point injection of Depo Medrol (methylprednisolone) 60 mg and 1.5cc 0.5% marcain. For injection you will see your doctor.
