Has anyone ever experienced this? I am assuming this is what I have. I have a burning sensation in my leg. tingling and numbness that travels up my left leg. It started yesterday. When I get up in the morning I don't have any symptoms. I also don't feel any discomforrt when I work out. What do you think?

It could be your sciatic nerve. I just did a quick google search on piriformis syndrome and these two articles seem to cover the topic decently.
