Hi,

Yes this is connected to sciatica. As the nerve carries two function - sensory and motor. When motor is involved there is weakness. When sensory is involved you will have touch, temperature, pain etc as symptoms.

The change in feeling of the hot and cold sensation is carried by nerve and so as you mentioned you had sciatica than it is one of the reason. Kindly do regular exercise which you may have been doing in past for your sciatica. Symptoms should subside sooner.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
