News India Live, Digital Desk: Sciatic nerve: Do you feel strange pain till the ankle, sometimes from the lower part of your waist to the leg, from the hip to the leg? Or sometimes the legs become numb, tingling or weakness in them? If you are also feeling any of these symptoms, do not take it lightly. This can be a symptom of sciatica.
What is sciatica?
The sciatica is the name of the largest vein in our body, which starts from the lower back of the waist and goes through the hip to the back of the leg. When there is pressure on this vein for some reason, it causes pain, numbness or tingling. This pain can sometimes be light, sometimes very fast, prick or irritated.
The main symptoms of sciatica:
-
Pain from waist to toe: The most common symptom is to start from the bottom of the waist and spread to one or both legs through the hip. This pain often occurs in the same leg.
-
Numbness and tingling: Feeling numbness or tingling (tingling) in any part of the foot, such as ‘pins and needles prick’.
-
muscle weakness: Feeling of muscle weakness in the affected leg or toe, which can cause difficulty in walking or lifting the leg.
-
Burning or prick: Feeling pain with pain with pain or sudden current.
-
Fast pain: Increased pain due to coughing, sneezing or long sitting.
When to be careful and see a doctor?
If you are feeling these symptoms, then immediately consult a doctor. Especially if:
-
The pain is very sharp and unbearable.
-
Suddenly there is weakness or numbness in the leg.
-
The pain has started after injury.
-
Problems in bladder or bowel control (this can be a serious condition).
Identification and treatment of sciatica is very important, so that pain can be prevented from increasing and the quality of life remains. Doctors may check for the correct diagnosis and treatment (such as physiotherapy, medicines or surgery in some cases). Understand your body signs and live a healthy life.
