Sciatica pain may feel like a bad leg cramp that lasts for weeks or months before it goes away. You may have pain, especially when you sit, sneeze or cough. Discomfort ranges from mild to incapacitating, and may be accompanied by tingling, numbness or muscle weakness.
Like the term slipped disc, sciatica pain is a term often misused to describe any pain in the leg that may originate in the lower back. True sciatica only involves pain caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve or its branches. Pain in the front of the thigh or groin, although possibly referred from the low back, is not sciatica.
Sciatica is a set of symptoms not a diagnosis. This point is important, because treatment for sciatica pain will often vary, depending on what is irritating the nerve, causing the pain.

Can sciatica give irritable bladder problems?
Sciatica associated with bladder problems may indicate a medical emergency known as cauda equina syndrome. Seek medical attention immediately, since it is possible that the spinal nerves of the cauda equina are being compressed, which can result in irreparable damage and permanent disability. It is of course possible simultaneously to have both sciatica and an irritable bladder that are medically independent of one another (and not, in and of themselves, dangerous), given that both syndromes are common. But it is best to seek a medical evaluation to be on the safe side.
