Back Pain

It is very difficult to get used to any kind of pain, especially a pain as crippling as chronic lower back pain. Back pain can result from a simple muscle pull to an injury or fall. Many times it will resolve itself in two to four weeks, with ample rest and heating or cooling therapy. But several people experience incessant and chronic back pain that numbs them and causes them to alter their lifestyle according to the demands of the aches and pains.

Sciatica Pain

Sciatica pain is the chronic pain in the lower lumbar and lumbosacral spine. Sciatica pain radiates along the path of the sciatica nerve. It starts from the lower back to the hips and buttocks and radiates to the legs. Sciatica most commonly occurs when a herniated disk or a bone spur on the spine compresses part of the nerve. This causes inflammation, pain and often some numbness in the affected leg.

Symptoms

Pain in the rear leg
Burning and tingling down the leg
Shooting pain making it difficult to stand
Trouble controlling bowels or bladder control
Numbness in the leg(s)

Causes

Herniated disc
Overgrown bone in the vertebrae
Nerve damage by tumor
Spinal stenosis
Piriformis syndrome
