Sciatica is the pain
that starts from our back and carried towards our lower part of the
legs passing through the buttocks. This pain is often accompanied by
back pain and neck pain. Doctors sometimes confuse sciatica with neck
and back pain. It should be kept in mind that before starting the
treatment let your doctor know the kind of pain you feel. As a simple
misjudgment can cause lots of problem.
The doctor you consult should be aware
of the symptoms of sciatica very well. He should know what kind of
treatment has to be given to you. There is no need to consult many
doctors. Consult a single doctor and let him know what the problem is
as he will be the person who will suggest you the treatment. Sciatica
has many symptoms, out of them some are common to the back pain.
The sciatic pain
often starts from the back. Then it passes through the buttock and
reaches the lower part of our leg. Sometimes people misjudge it by
back pain and take rest of day or two. The sciatic pain may lessen by
rest of a day or two but it starts as soon as you get to work. This
pain should not be taken lightly and consultation of the doctor
should be taken as soon as you start feeling the pain.
