Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic
Yes radiating pain like your have described is most likely sciatica.
Even if you have no back pain you should go for xray and mri spine by which your orthopaedist may diagnose and start appropriate treatment.I would suggest physiotherapy for better relief.
Thanks

Hi,thanks for query.You need at least physical examination by your doctor.As per the complain it seems that there has to be some nerve compression higher up.You may need a x ray also.Please avoid lifting heavy weight,avoid excessive forward bending.Take analgesic for pain by the time you visit your doctor.
wishing you good health.
