Sciatica is pain radiating along the sciatic nerve which runs down both legs and the lower back. This typically only affects one side on the body.

This can be caused by a herniated disc, tumors, a pelvic injury, or even an overgrowth of a bone.

A healthcare professional will diagnose this by checking muscle strength in that area and ask about the distribution of the pain.

Sciatica can eventually lead to nerve damage and can result in numbness and weakness in one or both legs.

This is not life threatening and some treatments include ice packs, physical therapy, exercise, and anti-inflammatories.
