Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down through the legs. It typically occurs due to compression or irritation of the nerve, often caused by a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or other spinal issues.
Signs and Symptoms:
- Pain: Sharp or burning pain that travels from the lower back to the buttocks and down one leg.
- Numbness: Tingling or numbness in the leg or foot.
- Weakness: Weakness in the leg or foot, making it difficult to move or stand.
- Discomfort: Persistent discomfort or pain that worsens with sitting, standing, or walking.
