The symptoms of sciatica can vary from person to person, but common signs include:
- Pain: A sharp, shooting, or burning pain that typically affects one side of the body and travels from the lower back down the leg.
- Numbness or Tingling: A “pins and needles” sensation in the leg or foot.
- Weakness: Difficulty moving or controlling the affected leg.
- Worsened Pain with Movement: Activities like sitting, standing, or bending may aggravate the pain.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to seek professional care to determine the cause and find relief.
