Case description

What is sciatica? It is compression of the roots of the sciatic nerve, as in disc herniation, or compression of the sciatic nerve itself, as in piriformis syndrome. This will cause pain in the lower back and buttocks, with sharp, shooting pain radiating down the leg to the foot, often associated with numbness, tingling, or burning, usually on one side.
