Sciatica symptoms include pain radiating from your lower back, down the spine and all the way down your legs. Spinal disc herniation and sciatica can cause a great deal of pain and weakness. The sciatica nerve begins in your lower back and extends all the way down on the back of each leg. When this nerve is damaged or affected the pain can be so intense that it can be debilitating affecting the activities of your daily living and thus the quality of life. In some cases the sciatica pain can be minor and may come and go, but it can worsen as time passes.
