In spite of being a less common cause of low back pain, Sciatic nerve pain is something that I usually need to see an intern. Sciatica refers to pain that spreads along the path of sciatic nerve starting from lower back through hips and buttocks to each leg. It generally affects only one side of the body.
Sciatica usually happens when a herniated disk, bone spur on the spine squeeze any part of the nerve. This leads to inflammation, excessive pain, and sometimes numbness in the leg.
The pain linked with sciatica can be severe often, most of the cases get solved without surgeries. But, when the pain gets more unbearable, it would lead to surgery.
Causes of Sciatica :-
Occupation: A job that needs to carry heavy weights for a longer period of time directly lead to the risk of nerve damage.
