What Causes Sciatic Nerve Pain?

Sciatic nerve pain can develop when the sciatic nerve root becomes pinched by something where it exits the spinal cord in the lower back. Usually, this compression is caused by a narrowed or misaligned joint, degenerated, herniated, or bulging disc, or sometimes a bony cyst or tumor. 

Sciatica is the term used to describe this sciatic nerve compression. Risk factors for this condition include: 

  • Sitting for too long
  • Trauma, such as a fall, car accident, or lifting accident
  • Obesity
  • Advancing age 
  • Other underlying health conditions, including diabetes

Pain and Other Sciatica Signs and Symptoms

Sciatic nerve pain often feels sharp, burning, tingling, shooting, stabbing, or searing. Sciatica can also present with other signs and symptoms, including leg weakness, numbness in the leg and foot, abnormal deep tendon reflexes, and in some cases a sore or achy back and buttocks. Your sciatica symptoms can vary in type and intensity depending on factors like activity, time of day, and severity.
