Pains is there mostly in left leg upper thigh and left calf

Is this sciatica??
What can I do about it?

Answer

I have Sciatica and it sounds like it but the only thing that will help is surgery or it fixing itself but you'll really have to be cautious, if you want it to fix itself but if it doesn't correct itself you'll HAVE to get surgery. That's what the doctors told me but you'll have to get checked out for yourself. My pain is in my right lower back, thigh and travels down my right leg.

Answer

Yes that sounds like sciatica. Go to ur doc. You may need to be booked off and stay off your feet for a few days. Also try not to sit for too long as it pinches the nerve even more. Taking anti inflammatories and pain killers should help ease it a bit. Also when you lie down or sleep have a pillow under your knees (if you sleep on ur back) or between your knees (if you sleep on your side). 
There's also some stretches you can do to stretch out the nerve which usually helps when my sciatica comes back. It's an incredibly uncomfortable pain and I hope you manage to get some relief.
