A member asked:
Can sciatica cause extreme back leg pain, knee and calf as well as ankle and foot pain, nearly to extent of feeling like a sprained ankle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: All these symptoms may result from sciatica, but see a doc to make sure you don’t have disc disease , or other compression, that also can produce the same symptoms.
