Sciatica is a type of pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back, through the hips and buttocks, and down each leg. It usually affects only one side of the body. The pain can range from mild to severe and can be sharp, burning, or like an electric shock. Common Causes: Herniated or Bulging Discs: These can press on the sciatic nerve. Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spaces within your spine, which puts pressure on the nerves. Spondylolisthesis: A condition where one vertebra slips over another, compressing the nerve. Piriformis Syndrome: When the piriformis muscle in the buttocks irritates or compresses the sciatic nerve. Degenerative Disc Disease: Age-related wear and tear of the spinal discs. Symptoms: Pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness that radiates from the lower back, through the buttocks, and down one leg. It’s often worsened by sitting or standing for long periods. In some cases, there can be difficulty moving the affected leg or foot.
