July 10th, 2010 Posted in Anxiety and Depression

Sciatica is a painful symptom that may be caused by compressive forces resulting in irritation of the sciatic nerve or any of its nerve roots. It is most frequently associated with stinging, burning or numbing pain that may be experienced in the lower back, buttock, thigh, leg, or foot. Identification of this particular symptom may be achieved through a bodily examination or medical past review. If the condition that is causing this nerve-associated symptom is left untouched, it may have a large impact on daily activities such as walking, sitting, lifting and other effortless movements.

This hurting symptom may be caused by several situations such as piriformis syndrome, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs and bulging discs. Although there may be several situations that lead to comparable symptoms, only herniated discs, bulging discs and degenerative disc disease areassociated with the intervertebral disc.

Sciatica caused by an intervertebral disc associated condition may have a wide range of hurting effects. Sciatica caused by compression or irritation may generate stinging or burning lower upper back pain, which will promptly work its way down the buttocks and leg. In quite a few cases, the shooting pain could lead down to the foot causing numbness|lack of feeling|lack of sensation[/spin]. When a person is experiencing sciatica symptoms , it could be difficult for them to live a normal or active life. Unless the condition is handled, a person may not likely be able to partake in normal daily functions which may also lead to depression and other negative effects.

A doctor may recommend a certain treatment optionalternative based on age, general health, medical past and degree of the sciatica causing condition . Conventional treatment alternatives associated with sciatica causing situations could involve bed rest, pain medications, physical therapy, acupuncture, surgery and traction.
