What Are The Symptoms Of Sciatica?

Hello...... Good evening. I ve been in pain for about six weeks now in my hamstring. I just put the symptoms in on this website and It sounds like I have sciatica..... Is it normal to be in so much pain for so long? I ve been to the emergency, my doctor and an orthopedic doctor as well and received three different diagnosis. One was a pulled hamstring, sciatica & IT Band Syndrome. This is very very painful.
