What is Sciatica and do you have it? Do you live in Eastbourne?

So sciatica. Is that what I’ve actually got?

Sciatica

  • Sciatica is pain due to compression and irritation of the Sciatic nerve. Potential causes of compression can include, disc, muscles, stenosis, arthritis and/or inflammation to name a few.

    This nerve runs from your lower back through your pelvis, buttock and down the back of your leg.

    • Pain

    • Numbness

    • Tingling sensations travelling from the lower back and down the back of one leg to the foot and/or toes

    • Weakness in the calf muscles, or the muscles that move the foot and ankle.
