Symptoms of Sciatica Pain

Sciatica pain can vary in intensity and may include:

• Sharp, shooting pain that radiates from the lower back through the buttock and down one leg.
• Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot.
• Weakness in the affected leg or foot.
• Pain that worsens with sitting, coughing, or sneezing.
• Discomfort that may improve with standing or walking.

Understanding Sciatica Pain

Sciatica pain typically originates in the lower back and radiates down the leg, affecting the sciatic nerve. Common causes of sciatica include:

• Herniated Disc: When a spinal disc protrudes or ruptures, it can press on the sciatic nerve, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the leg.
• Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can compress the nerve roots that form the sciatic nerve, leading to pain and discomfort.
• Degenerative Disc Disease: The wear and tear of spinal discs can reduce their height and affect the nerve roots, causing sciatica pain.
• Spondylolisthesis: When a vertebra slips out of place, it can put pressure on the sciatic nerve, resulting in pain that radiates down the leg.
• Piriformis Syndrome: The piriformis muscle, located in the buttocks, can become tight or inflamed and press on the sciatic nerve, causing sciatica symptoms.
