What else can I help you with?
Why does a persons leg and foot drag on the ground when they have siatica?
The nerve (the sciatic) goes to the muscles that move the leg. If the "pinching" is removed by opening the foramen (Foraminal Stenosis) that the nerve goes through, the ability to walk will come back.
What is the treatment for siatica?
Treatment for sciatica typically includes a combination of physical therapy, pain relief medications, and lifestyle modifications. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or muscle relaxants can help alleviate pain and inflammation. In more severe cases, corticosteroid injections or surgery may be considered. Regular exercise and stretching can also support recovery and prevent future episodes.
What coud cause a sharp pain on the left side below the waist?
I believe that this could be siatica.<---- spelling could be wrong... but I have the same pain from time to time and it's very painful. Could be related to low back issues or stress. Elevating your legs at leisure times or putting a pillow between your legs when you sleep can help. I'm not a medical person, but I know a lot about this issue. Ask your doctor about this if it persists or gets worse. Hope this helps.
