Sciatica and sciatica nerve pain are a set of symptoms characterized by any combination of numbness, tingling, sharp, shootting and burning pain in the back, buttocks and into the leg – and in some cases all the way down to the toes. Sciatica itself is not a diagnosis but merely a set of symptoms that arise from some other cause usually spinal in origin.
The most common musculoskeletal causes of sciatica are lumbar disc herniation, disc bulge, degenerative disc disease, farcet arthropothy and spinal stenosis.
