A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Sciatic pain is pain radiating typically from buttocks down leg below the knee that can be associated with numbness, tingling &/or weakness with or without any back pain. Coughing, sneezing & bearing down can increase the pain. The most likely culprit is a disc herniation but there can be other causes as well including a pyriformis syndrome, a synovial cyst, spinal stenosis or a spine deformity.
