A member asked:
I had sciatica 8 months ago on my left side. it got better. but right now it is like i am laying on a heating pad on that side above my hip. very warm. no pain just heat. what is causing this?

I think your left sciatic nerve is still showing some irritation by a bulging disc or spur in your lumbosacral spine. An MRI and/or an EMG would demonstrate such a condition. Your neurologist can advise you best, however.
