6. Pinched nerve
Sciatica, which is caused by a pinched nerve in your lower back, is a pain that travels along the path of the sciatic nerve. This is the longest nerve in your body, extending from your lower back through your buttocks, hips, and legs. Sciatica generally affects one side of your body.
The condition can range from a mild ache to sharp burning pain and worsen with sneezing or prolonged sitting. You may also experience sudden leg weakness or numbness. By the way, here’s a massager machine that can help you relieve the discomfort and pain in your legs.
Mild sciatica generally goes away with rest and self-care measures, such as stretching. Talk to your doctor if your pain is severe or lasts longer than a few weeks.
Get emergency care if you experience sudden, severe pain in your leg or lower back accompanied by muscle numbness weakness or trouble controlling your bowels or bladder, which is a sign of cauda equina syndrome.
