Go see your regular doctor first. Your doctor can make the diagnosis and refer you to a specialist. If you jump right into looking up a specialist, you are going to have to wait for ages to make an appointment. Sciatica is not always caused by a bulging disk. Mine went away after I moved my wallet to my side pocket...A chiropractor recommended that to me (and helped lighten that wallet, too).

The SCIATIC nerve travels from the base of the spine down the legs.
When this nerve is pinched, usually by tense muslce, your leg begins to feel numb.
IF you do nothing and the tense muscle continues to pinch the nerve, it may make the leg feel as if it is 'asleep'. IF the situation still does not improve, PAIN is the body's communication to the BRAIN that something is wrong and because you didnt do something sooner, you need to either GET OFF YOUR BUTT and walk around to relax the tense muscle. IF you cannot get it to relax simply by walking around, go to the store and purchase a sports cream with the highest concentration of MENTHOL. (16%)
Apply liberally to that butt cheek and then learn to change positions when you sit.
IF you feel SCIATIC Pain - you need to learn what your body is telling you, so the next time you feel something it's not just because the leg is tired.
