A member asked:

Can celiac disease or gastritis give you sciatica?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Sciatica refers to pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling in the leg. Sciatica occurs when there is pressure or damage to the sciatic nerve. This nerve starts in the lower spine and runs down the back of each leg. This nerve controls the muscles of the back of the knee and lower leg and provides sensation to the back of the thigh, part of the lower leg, and the sole of the foot.
