Sciatica
Another name: Radiculopathy.
Sciatica is a disease that is associated with pain, weakness, lack of feeling in the area( numbness). Sometimes the patient feels a tingling sensation in the leg. It is a very common condition. Its incidence varies from 13% to 40%. Its prevalence varies from 1.6% in the general population to 43% in a selected group. In most patients, this disease can be treated without any complications, but in some people(up to 30%) of patients have pain for 1 year or longer.
About Sciatic nerve:
The sciatic nerve is a large nerve, formed from nerve roots that originate from the spinal cord. These nerve roots pass out between the disc spaces and join up to form the sciatic nerve. It passes from the spine into the buttock, then into the back of the thigh and leg.
The sciatic nerve controls the sensation and function of the leg and foot.
Types of sciatica:
Acute Sciatica (which is of shorter duration): It is seen for 4-8 weeks. In this condition, pain may reduce in few days. Symptoms reduce by taking medicines.
Chronic Sciatica(which is of longer duration): In this condition, pain may persist for a longer duration. In this, along with medicines, some physical therapy is also required like exercise and heat application. Sometimes surgery is also required to give relief.
Causes:
Herniated disc or lumbar bulging: It is also known as contained disc disorder. It is a serious condition as bulging of the disc can press nearby nerves which results in more symptoms. It results not only in the herniation of the disc but disc material which is released also contains an acid mainly hyaluronic acid which can cause nerve inflammation.

Incidence:
Body height may be a risk factor for sciatica, although this appears to be significant only in males in the 50–64 yr age group. It is also related to age. It is seen rarely before the age of 20. Its incidence peaks after 50 years. an episode of sciatica increased by 1.4 for every additional 10 yr of age, up to the age of 64.
