Sciatica is a debilitating condition where the Sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back to the feet, is irritated or compressed. Sufferers of sciatica experience tingling, numbness and severe pain in the lower back or legs.
Sciatica is generally characterised by pain in the lower back and the legs, and can worsen when you move, sneeze or cough. Pain from sciatica can be very hard to deal with and sufferers typically look to take pain-relief so they can continue with their daily lives without too much disruption.
If you suffer from Sciatica then chances are you find it hard to live a normal life due to constant pain and disruption when going about daily activities. Even basic tasks such as walking, going to work, going up the stairs, or sitting down can be painful and uncomfortable.
