What Causes Pain And Numbness In Foot While Suffering From Sciatica?

I was diagnosed with Sciatica 7 weeks ago. The pain is inbearable my left foot is numb on outside two small toes are numb and my foot is always cold. Physio says my ankle reflex is poor. What is the likely cause of this and how long should my GP wait before referring me to a specialist. Each time Inghimk it is easing off the pain returns 10 fold.
