Sciatica

Sciatica is a symptom that creates inflammation in the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve supplies information from the brain, controlling movements in the leg. This condition consists of leg pain similar to that of a bad leg cramp and can be severely painful. Sciatica is theoretically a symptom of a pinched nerve affecting the lower spinal nerves. This condition could be caused by a slipped disc that results in pressure on a nerve root, spinal stenosis, and many other medical conditions.
