Sciatica is a symptom caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve or its nerve roots.
It usually affects one side of the body.
Diagnosis is often based on history and physical examination. MRI or other imaging may be recommended when symptoms are severe, persistent, or associated with neurological deficits.
Management may include maintaining appropriate activity, physiotherapy, pain-relieving medicines, and treatment of the underlying cause. Some cases require injections or surgery.
Detailed assessment may include the exact pathway of pain, sensation, side affected, movement, position, aggravating and relieving factors, numbness, tingling, weakness, sleep, and previous injury.
Progressive leg weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or numbness around the groin or anal area requires urgent medical evaluation.
Does pain begin in your lower back or buttock and travel down your leg?
Do you experience burning, tingling, numbness, or difficulty moving comfortably?
Sciatica can make sitting, walking, working, and sleeping difficult.
