What Causes Pain In The Calf, Thigh And Buttock?

A couple nights ago I was awakened by a sharp pain in the calf of my right leg. It went away, leaving a feeling as a bruise would. Today my thigh and buttock area hurts kind of like a dull mild pain. It now kind of feels like it s spreading in the thigh, buttock, hip area. I went to lay down for a few minutes and my toes started tingling and then my arm and fingers, hand. All limbs on the right side of my body. Can I just go to the clinic tomorrow?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Your symptoms suggest that you are suffering from sciatica. Its a nerve compression at intervertebral disc and results in shooting pain in the area of supply of sciatic nerve anywhere from spine to toe. If its not bothering you much, you can visit your doctor tomorrow and if pain is severe you can visit ER for pain killers and temporary relief.
