Sciatic nerve symptoms (sciatica) include pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness originating in the lower back or buttock and radiating down one leg. The sensation often feels like a burning, sharp, or electric shock, commonly worsening with sitting, coughing, or sneezing.

Sciatica happens when something irritates or presses on the sciatic nerve. The most common reasons include:
-
Herniated disc: A disc in the lower back bulges and touches the nerve.
-
Tight muscles: Especially the piriformis muscle in the buttock.
-
Spinal wear‑and‑tear: Age‑related changes like bone spurs.
-
Spinal narrowing (stenosis): Less space for the nerve to move.
-
Injury: Falls, lifting accidents, or sudden twisting.
