Sneak Peeks
Here’s a head start on your mission to learn more about sciatica.
> Where does it start? Sciatica typically begins when something irritates or compresses the sciatic nerve. Common causes include a herniated disc in the lower spine, a narrowing of the spinal canal (spinal stenosis), or age-related changes such as degenerative disc disease or bone spurs.
> Where does it strike? Sciatica usually affects one side of the body, although it can occur on both sides. Pain may be felt in the lower back, hip, buttock, upper leg, calf, or even down into the sole of the foot and toes.
> Will sciatica become chronic? It’s impossible to predict whether someone’s sciatic nerve pain will be fleeting or chronic. But certain factors may indicate a longer sciatic-pain challenge—among them pain that has lasted for more than 30 days without relief; pain that gets worse when you sneeze or cough; or pain that’s worse when you sit down.
