Is it tpicical for sciatic pian to change;ie pain shooting down leg 2 pain only in ankle, the farther u go in the healing process of a herniated disc?

Yes: Yes. Sciatica can change. Centralization means the leg pain goes and u are left with back pain.

Depends: Was the disc herniation operated on? "healing process of disc herniation"? Pain usually improves after microdiscectomy. However, numbness and tingling can persist for months.
