Sciatica is pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve from your lower back, through your buttocks and down your leg and into the calf and foot. It is common for sciatica to affect only one side of the body.
Pain from sciatica can be described as an ache, numbness or tingling, an electric shock, a burning sensation, or even an icy cold feeling
Sciatica is most often a symptom of an underlying problem, such as a herniated disk, a bone spur on the spine, or spinal stenosis. Sciatica occurs when the nerve roots along the spine are impinged. The impingement of the nerve is the actual cause responsible for the symptoms one experiences.
The pain associated with sciatica can be severe, but in many cases can be reduced with non-operative treatments in a just a few weeks. People with a case of severe sciatica sometimes experience weakness in their leg, or even changes in their ability to control their bowels or bladder.
