Sciatica
What is sciatica?
Sciatica is a symptom of the sciatic nerve being compressed, which extends from the lower back down to the back of the legs. Sciatica is usually characterized by leg pain but, depending on which part of the sciatic nerve is affected, the pain can also be felt in the lower back and possibly even the toes or the feet. Sciatica can sometimes feel like a bad leg cramp. Some people who experience sciatica feel extreme shooting pain that makes it difficult for them to sit or stand, while others may experience a constant pain. In most cases, sciatica will only affect one side of the body.
What causes sciatica?
Sciatica can be caused by many different medical conditions, but the most common is nerve compression, often because of a slipped or herniated disc. A few other common causes of sciatica are pregnancy, degenerative disc disease, lumbar spinal stenosis, injury or a tumor.
