The term sciatica refers to the pain felt in the lower part of the back, buttocks, and leg(s), which occurs as a result of pinched or irritated sciatic nerve – the largest and thickest nerve in the human’s body. Sciatica is not medically diagnosed itself, but it’s one of the most common back problems nowadays. Besides the debilitating pain, sciatica sufferers also experience tingling and numbness in the leg(s).
