Feel like physio made my sciatica worse

I went to a physio a few weeks ago as I thought I'd injured my hamstring. He told me he disagreed and thought it was sciatica which I agree with, as the pain is very nerve-like. I feel it in my buttocks and down the back of my leg.

It started to ease off a lot and I went back yesterday for a follow up appointment. During this he stretched my leg out a bit and ever since it's been worse than ever. The tingling is constant and uncomfortable.

Does this sound like sciatica to you? I don't have any back pain (touch wood). I just want this to stop and am worried he's made it worse.

I had something earlier this year that sounds similar to this and I think it was sciatica. I went to an osteopath for a few weeks and I also felt that it didn't help / made it worse. What really helped me was Pilates.
