Introduction
Have you ever experienced a mild ache or shooting pain down one of your legs after a long day or sitting? Perhaps you’ve experienced numbness in one of your legs along with lower back pain? If your pain isn’t resolving after a week or it gets worse over time you may have sciatica. Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along your sciatic nerve (which runs from your lower back to your hip, buttock, and down your leg).
Sciatica Facts
- Sciatica is linked to degenerative disc disease (i.e., slipped or bulging disc) in your spine that puts pressure on your sciatic nerve causing irritation.
- Stress on the muscles and ligaments that support your spine or poor posture can lead to spinal or lower back problems thereby causing sciatica.
- Standing or sitting for a prolonged period of time can increase your sciatic pain.
- Severe cases can affect your bladder and bowel control.
- Sciatica can make you feel like you have weakness in your lower limb muscles and your foot.
