Do you have back pain or leg pain while standing or walking? Do you have a shooting pain in your leg when you stand up? Do you need to sit down for a minute for the pain to go away? What it means: If the leg with pain, numbness or tingling does not go up as high as the other leg, you likely have Sciatica.
