About this listen
Sciatica pain, often simply referred to as sciatica, is a common type of pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down through the hips, buttocks, and legs. It typically occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated, leading to symptoms such as sharp, shooting pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the affected leg. Sciatica can be caused by various factors, including a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, or even muscle spasms in the buttocks. The pain intensity can vary from mild to severe, and it may worsen with activities like sitting, standing, or walking. Treatment options for sciatica pain often include a combination of rest, physical therapy, medications, such as anti-inflammatories or muscle relaxants, and in some cases, epidural steroid injections or surgery may be recommended.
