HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

With a history of sciatica , it is likely that the shooting pain that you are experiencing is related to this.

Nerve related pain is called neuralgia and there are different possible causes.

You may need imaging of your spine.

In addition, physiotherapy and pain medications may be helpful.

I hope this helps
