How to distinguish sciatica from back pain? Question from an anonymous forum customer
Pharmacist's answer:
Sciatica is a pain felt in the leg caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve at the point along its course as it leaves the spine and travels to the foot. The most common cause of sciatica is pressure on the nerve at the point where it exits the spinal canal due to pressure from a herniated disc or a growth called an osteophyte.
Sciatica pain is felt down the back of the leg and in the sole. Sciatica pain originates in the back area and does not originate anywhere in the leg area. Suppose there is discomfort in the lower back, either centrally or unilaterally, accompanied by leg symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness. In that case, the origin of the symptoms is most likely in the lower back.

- Cold compresses: apply a cold compress or compress to the painful area for up to 20 minutes several times daily. Use an ice pack or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a clean towel or cloth to avoid painful frostbite.
- Warm compresses: after 2 to 3 days of cooling, apply a heat compress to the painful areas. Use hot packs or a heating pad at the lowest intensity, then increase the intensity as needed. If the pain is constant, try using warm and cold compresses in an alternating sequence.
- Stretching: Stretching exercises for the lower back may provide some relief. Try to hold the cut of the specific muscle for at least 30 seconds. Avoid jerking, bouncing, or twisting while stretching.
- Medications: Pain relievers such as ibuprofen and naproxen may be necessary occasionally.
