What Is Sciatica?

The term “sciatica” describes the pain that travels down the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the buttocks down each leg. The most common cause of sciatica is when pressure is placed on the lumbar spine nerve roots, usually from a herniated disk or bone overgrowth. This pressure leads to inflammation, pain, and sometimes numbness in the affected leg.

Symptoms Of Sciatica 

Pain from sciatica may manifest anywhere along the pathway of the nerve. It is particularly common for the pain to travel from the lower back to the buttocks, and then down to the back of the thigh and calf. The intensity of the pain can range from a slight discomfort to a severe, burning sensation. At times, it may resemble a sudden jolt or an electric shock. 

  • Shooting pains 
  • Pain in the leg 
  • A burning pain 
  • Numbness in the leg 
  • Pain during movement 
  • Buttock pain 
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the muscles of the leg or foot
