Hi
Sciatica is a condition of lower back and lower limbs.
Arm pain tingling is due to nerves of neck or in shoulder region,elbow or wrist.
Anyway, both require to be treated simultaneously by anti inflammatory meds, and methycobalamin, lyrica etc .consult an orthopaedic or neurologist.
X-rays or MRI of back and neck may be required, alsi physical examination to check for nerves, muscles implicated.
Both conditions are treatable
