Sciatica causing burning foot?

Hi all,

I could do with some advice as I am getting nowhere fast with my doctor. I have a foot that burns hotter than the sun! To touch it, it feels normal, but it burns. Also I have noticed while swimming under the arch of my foot, I have reduced sensation, I couldn't feel the water. I also have bad tingles from half way down my calf to the foot. I can't say it's painful, but my leg isn't happy. I'm starting to think this could be sciatica, as my lower back is sore. I also have bursitis in my hip which doesn't help trying different positions to keep my hip happy. There are a lot of things I am not supposed to do so as not to make my hip worse, most of them are encouraged to help sciatica! I'm just sick of being in pain all the time and there is no help in sight.
