One more thing I don't need: is this sciataca?

Oy vey. This started two nights ago while I was sleeping on my left side. Pain from the back of my butt, a bit left of center, running down the entire left leg to the ankle, along the left side of the back of my leg, almost on the side of my leg. A few minutes after I got out of bed it went away and was I fine all day. Then it happened again last night, only worse.
I can sleep on my back as long as I'm careful about the way I move. I'm mostly okay on my right side, again being careful about movements. I can't roll onto my left side without pain. But I can sit up on the side of the bed and then fall onto my left side and lie that way without pain. So certain movements and positions trigger it while others are okay, and I'm still figuring out which is which.
Yesterday afternoon I did some leg stretches without pain. I'll try doing them again in a little while.
I've had problems in the past with my sacroiliac but that was on the right side, where my knee and ankle problems have been (patella tracking problem, not serious, and ankle tendon problem, resolved surgically many years ago). Stretching and attention to posture generally keep the sacroiliac problem in check.
Any thoughts? Thanks very much!
