If you are having sciatic which is a sharp shooting pain down the back of your leg and into your foot then this is caused by nerve root compression in the lumbar spine. This can be diagnosed by and MRI of the lumbar spine. It colds although you have a number of other medical problems at the moment and these could be contributing to this problem and so I suggest that you Dr assesses you urgently and organizes the MRI scan of your spine if they feel that this is the cause of your pain.
