Sciatic pain can be effectively treated and resolved without surgery in a few weeks. Even if you’ve suffered leg symptoms, including weakness, numbness, and tingling pain, or even bladder changes, there is still hope. What Causes Sciatica? One possible cause of sciatica is when one of the discs is bulging. It can also occur due to spinal narrow, known as spinal stenosis. As we age, the spine may compress and narrow where the nerves exit the spinal canal, resulting in leg symptoms. What Are the Symptoms of Sciatica? Sciatic back pain is normally noticed as a pain radiating from the lower back. Often, this extends to the buttock, radiating down the leg. If you’re suffering from sciatica, you might feel the discomfort anywhere along this nerve pathway. The symptoms can even extend to the foot. The pain itself can be dull, aching or even sharp. In some cases, the compressed nerve may feel like it burns, causing considerable pain. Some people experiencing sciatica may even have leg numbness, tingling or weakness.
