Sometimes it is the piriformis muscle that also gets inflammed and presses on the sciatic nerve that causes the awful shooting leg pains...

take care, hope this may help.
Thanks to all that have replied to me.

Today I received a copy of a report from my PM Doctor to the Spinal Surgeon he is recommending I see. The possible DX is "Extruded disc fragments with Caudia Equina Compression". Is anyone farmiliar with this condition or had the surgery to correct it? I would appreciate any input good or bad.
