Sciatica
Sciatica is a pain that arises from a pinched nerve in the lower spine of the body. Sciatica can range from a bad cramp to a severe shooting pain that makes it difficult to stand or sit. This pain may be due to a herniated or slipped disk, spasm of the butt muscles, slipped vertebra, or spinal stenosis. A licensed doctor may recommend certain medications or physical therapy for treatment. People with severe conditions of sciatica may need to undergo a surgical procedure.
Peripheral Neuropathy
When there’s significant damage to the nerves that relay and receive messages from the brain, it may cause peripheral neuropathy. The most typical cause of this condition is diabetes. However, it’s important to note that there are other causes of this condition. For instance, medications, infections, injuries, and other health conditions can cause Peripheral Neuropathy. If this damage to the nerves is on the legs, it may cause them to feel tingly, prickly, numb, or weak. Doctors may prescribe certain medications to treat the condition and ease the pain that it causes.
