Can you get sciatica in your arms?

Not sciatica: Sciatica refers to the pinched sciatic nerve in the buttock causing pain radiating from buttock downwards. Other pinched nerves could cause similar symptoms in your upper extremity.

No: Not sciatica, because the sciatic nerve is in your lower extremity. Your upper extremity has different nerves. See a neurologist or orthopedist.

Kinda see below: Radiating pain from spine to limb is radiculopathy siatica is usually a lumbar raduculopathy classically caused by pressure on thel5 or s1 nerve root pain radiating from your neck would not be called siatica as that nervec is in youbuttocks but u can have radiating pain from a pinched nerve go into your arm most common isc6 causing shoulder and thumb pain from a ponched nerve atc56.

No: Sciatica refers to irritated nerve/s going down the leg. Cervical radiculopathy is the term used to describe an irritated nerve root in the neck that radiates down the arm.

Pinched Nerve: Sounds like you have a pinched nerve in your neck. I would suggest seeing a pain/spine specialist to evaluate you further to evaluate what level and what can be done to treat you. There are interventional treatments besides medications and surgeries that might reduce or eliminate the pain altogether. Its like sciatica but isn't called that because the sciatic nerve is in the buttock/leg.
