A member asked:
I get sciatica every few months, this is the 1st time that it feels as if the symptoms are going upwards and not down my leg, is this common?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sciatica: is a result of a compromised sicatic nerve in the leg. If other pain move upward it involves another nerve which is certainly possible.
