Sciatica - but down the front?

I've had some weird shit going on with my legs for the past few years - cramping, random pains etc.

But this latest is the most persistent - I have what I imagine sciatica to feel like (kind of tinging, shooting unpleasantness) around the iliac crest, down around the groin and the front of both legs.

It's been going on a few weeks now. Has anyone any idea what it could be? I did have an MRI of my lumbar spine a couple of years ago too and nothing came up so I don't think it's from my back.

Weak hip flexor I think. Have you seen a physio,I'm 3 sessions in and it's helped loads.
