If you truly have sciatica pain, those characteristic you mention are quite unusual so a physical examination should be done. Please see your doctor because you may not have sciatica. Take care and good luck!

The symptoms may not be due to sciatica, and a physical examination is needed to uncover the exact pain generator. Since treatment varies depending on underlying mechanisms, you may require some radiological studies and blood testing. We could offer here a more thorough assessment via a virtual consult (www.connect@healthtap.com)
