What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica is the term used for pain and discomfort experienced by compression or irritation to the sciatic nerve. This can cause pain, numbness and tingling to the area that radiates from the lower back and can travel down the legs to the feet and toes.

It varies in severity, from very severe to mild and can be exacerbated by sitting down for longer periods, coughing or sneezing. Some people with sciatica might experience a weakness in the affected leg. It can also cause back pain, though it is more common to affect the buttocks and legs.
