Does sciata cause hamstring muscle to become wider/thicker and harder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: acute sciatica can cause a muscle spasm which may make the muscle appear wider thicker and stronger. Long term however sciatica Can cause lead to muscle atrophy – thinning and weakening of a muscle.
