What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica is a set of symptoms that occur when there is damage, irritation, or pressure on the sciatic nerve. It is not a medical condition, but rather a symptom of an underlying medical problem. Sciatica can occur when you have a slipped or herniated disc, spinal stenosis, a spinal fracture, tumors or bone spurs on the spine, or a traumatic injury to the spine.
Recognizing Sciatica Symptoms
There are two sciatic nerves that run down either side of your body, and the symptoms you experience depend on which nerve is affected and where. When the sciatic nerve is damaged in your neck, you’ll experience neck and arm pain. When the sciatic nerve is damaged in your back, you’ll experience lower back pain and leg pain. Most people develop pain slowly and the pain worsens when going from standing to sitting and vice versa. Pain may also worsen at night or when sneezing, coughing, or laughing. In addition to pain, most people also experience:
- Pain that radiates down one limb
- Pain that feels like a stab, jolt, or electric shock
- Numbness or tingling in the arm or leg
- Weakness in the arm and hand or leg and foot
