Sciatica is a painful condition caused by irritation, inflammation, or impingement of the sciatic nerve. Pain from sciatica can present itself in many ways ranging from low back pain, buttock pain, leg pain, foot pain, and toe pain. Burning and/or numbness may also be present in those areas. Depending on the root cause of your sciatica, pain may shift from one side of your body to the other. Many people with sciatica find the pain to be so debilitating that they are forced to miss work and social gatherings. Among patients with lower back pain, those with sciatica experience the highest level of disability. If you suffer from sciatic pain, you know how disruptive it can be to your life.
