What to do if i think i have sciatica, what are the symptoms?

Symptoms of sciatica: "sciatica" is pain, numbness, and/or weakness in the distribution of the sciatic nerve. It's almost never caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve, but rather by irritation of the lumbar nerves from the spine that make up the sciatic nerve, ie. L5 or s1. The path of symptoms is from the buttock down the back and side of the leg, ending in the foot.

Pain from back 2 leg: Symptoms include lower back pain, buttock pain, and pain, numbness or weakness in various parts of the leg and foot. Other symptoms include pins and needles or tingling and difficulty in moving or controlling the leg.

Back & Leg Pain: Sciatica is pain in the distribution of the leg as a result of an irritated nerve or facet joints or other injury typically in the lumbar spine (low back) which are caused by herniated disks, spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease, etc requiring further evaluation by a spine specialist and may be candidate for facet injections/radiofrequency ablation and epidural steroid injection.
