Sciatic nerve pain is a type of back pain. It causes a shooting and sharp pain that spreads from the lower back and goes through the buttocks, down the legs, and into the feet.
Unfortunately, this pain affects around 40 percent of the adult American population.
Sciatic nerve pain causes a constant dull ache in the lower part of the back, inability to lift or move the feet and legs, pain in the lower back that comes and goes, pain that goes down the leg into the feet, tingling sensation in the feet, numbness in the thighs, and weakness in the foot and leg.
