Hi,
Sorry to hear about your pain. Yes, it looks Likely to be sciatica. Pain in the back that goes to the leg and foot is likely a pinched nerve in the back. This is also called sciatica (if the sciatic nerve is compressed).
The associated burning also suggests a pinched nerve. We generally do an MRI of the back to confirm this. Treatment is physiotherapy, certain drugs, and few times surgeries to release the nerve.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
