Brief Answer:
Definitely.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your query.

You should visit doctor, as it will increase with time and will lead to pain and numbness

It seems a type of sciatica has been started developing which irritate the pyriformis muscle leading to another problem I.e pyriformis syngrome.

Doctor will advise you xray of lumbosacral spine and hip joint.

He may prescribe you painkillers etc, and stretching exercise.

I hope you have got your answer.

Thanks,

Dr. CHANDER XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
