A member asked:
Could sciatic nerve cause your leg and foot to swell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likley: Sciatic nerve irritation is caused by a back problem or pressure from your thigh muscles and would not be related to swelling in your foot or leg. However, leg swelling can cause nerve type symptoms including burning pain and numbness. I recommend you see a specialist for further evaluation.
