Hello,

Yes, it looks like Sciatica. Do SLR (straight leg raising) test. Lie down facing up, stretch your leg.

Then fold at Knee joint flex at the hip. Then stretch extend knee upward, If you having severe pulling pain in thigh and legs, it is due Sciatica. SLR positive.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
