Does this sound like possible sciatica?

every once in a while I'll get quite a bad pain at the back of my left thigh. This is the most common area but it can also radiate up towards my bottom and back and also down to me calves and feet at times. Like a deep muscle ache but can almost feel like a burning at times and can also make me feel nauseous if bad . The worst part is the back thigh. Don't feel the pain at the front of my thigh at all.

it is worse in the morning after being in bed all night. The pain is worse when sat down or leaning over and not as bad being upright and walking around. It also gets painful when I get into bed at night.

it's not really stopping me from doing normal daily things but it'll hurt if I've been up on my feet then I sit down. It can hurt whilst leaning over too.

Maybe I should contact my doctor but don't want to waste their time and appointments are like gold dust at my local surgery.

anyone offer any advice?

Go and see a good Sports Therapist- massage and stretching can help massively with sciatic pain.
