A member asked:
I *think* i may be developing sciatica effecting my rt leg, seeing doctor in two weeks. would sciatica make my leg feel very heavy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: Sciatica merely describes radiating pain in nerve root distribution, but if compression is enough, there may be associated numbness and weakness, which could cause your sensation of heaviness.
