SCIATICA PAIN
Sciatica is a particular term that relates to a severe pain felt through your buttock region and down the back of your leg. Some other symptoms include sensory changes such as pins and needles, possible loss of muscle power or numbness.
SYMPTOMS
The intermittent symptoms like pins and needles and weakness are experienced. Constant pain and sharpness on movement are some of the continual symptoms involving a pain in the lower back, leg, and feet.
