Very likely: Nerve impingement (anywhere from the spine all the way down the leg) can cause those symptoms. See a physiatrist to confirm the diagnosis and to come up with a treatment plan.

Yes It is Related: If the numbness is new, it could mean your sciatica is getting worse. If the numbness doesn't resolve in a few days, I would suggest seeing a spine/pain specialist to discuss your options. If MRI not done, it may be something to consider if numbness persists or increases.
