If you are experiencing a shooting, piercing pain that runs from the lower back down to the legs, you are probably suffering from sciatica pain. The Sciatic is the longest nerve in the body running from the buttocks right down to the toes. The nerve can experience pain whenever you have a trapped nerve, disc herniation, Piriformis syndrome, or trigger point referral. Typically, symptoms of sciatica include the following:
- Leg pain that worsens when sitting
- Tingling or burning running down the leg
- Numbness, weakness, or difficulties moving the foot or entire leg
- A consistent pain on one side of your lower back
- An intense and intolerable pain that makes it hard to stand up
