How Do I Know If I Have Sciatica?
Sciatica is a pain in the sciatic nerve which spans your lower back through the back of your legs to your feet. So, feeling pains through this area is an obvious indication of sciatica. The following are some other symptoms.
Numbness – Patients do feel numbness at the back of their leg and oftentimes weakness too
Posture-induced pain – Your pain might worsen when you get in certain postures such as while sitting, standing up, bending or twisting the spine, while coughing or lying down
One-sided pain – Sciatica will only affect one leg at a time. So, if you feel the associated pain in just one leg might be a confirmation of the condition
