Have you ever felt a sharp, shooting pain that runs from your lower back down to your hips and buttocks and into your leg? You could be suffering from lumbar radiculopathy, often known as sciatica.
Sciatica pain is felt along the sciatic nerve, which is the body’s longest nerve. Sciatica pain usually occurs when a bone spur or herniated disc compresses a spinal nerve root in your lower back, causing intense pain in your back, leg, and buttock.
