Sciatica<\/a>\u00a0occurs when a person experiences pain because the\u00a0sciatic nerve<\/a>\u00a0has some sort of pressure on it.The\u00a0sciatic nerve<\/a>\u00a0is the longest in the human body running from the lower back down to each leg. It is responsible for controlling all the muscles that surround it.<\/p>\n

When one of the roots of this nerve becomes compressed or irritated the result is pain in the lower back, feet, buttocks or legs. It can range from being a minor annoyance to causing excruciating pain. It might also cause numbness or a weakness in your legs.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that\u00a0sciatica<\/a>\u00a0is not actually a medical condition but a group of symptoms. Each case is a little different than the next depending on which nerve root is affected and the reason it is affected, in the first place.<\/p>\n

People between the ages of thirty and fifty are most likely to suffer with\u00a0sciatica<\/a>. It is not usually caused by becoming injured but is more likely to be a result of simple wear and tear on the body. The pain can be intense but there is almost never permanent damage caused to the\u00a0sciatic nerve<\/a>. The pain usually goes away after approximately six weeks, at the most.<\/p>\n

When you go to the doctor they will ask a number of questions about your symptoms and how long they have been occuring. They will look closely at your lower back and legs before coming to a conclusion. You might also be asked to perform several exercises that will help the doctor to pinpoint where exactly the problem is.<\/p>\n

If the symptoms have been present for longer than six weeks you might need to succumb to x-rays, MRI and a complete blood count test. A blood count will be especially important if you have cancer or AIDS.<\/p>\n

Try and be patient because the symptoms will go away soon enough. Try to go about business, as usual. Make sure your boss knows about what you are dealing with and ask them to relieve you of heavy bending and lifting for the time being.<\/p>\n

There are many things you can do at home to encourage\u00a0faster healing<\/a>\u00a0and help to stave off some of the pain. Use an\u00a0ice pack<\/a>, wrapped in a towel, on the painful area for fifteen to twenty minutes at a time. This can be done on demand through the course of the day. Mix in a\u00a0hot pack<\/a>, or hot shower, to help relax any tight muscles that might be increasing the pressure.<\/p>\n
