Symptoms of pseudosciatica

summary

The gluteus minimus is located slightly in front of the deep part of the gluteus medius. These muscles are the primary motor of the abducted hip. The gluteus minimus and gluteus medius are fan-shaped and attached to the same bone at adjacent positions, so the functions of gluteus minimus and gluteus medius are similar. Therefore, the gluteus minimus can bend and rotate the hip joint, and maintain the stability of pelvic position during walking just like the gluteus medius. Symptoms of pseudo sciatica? Let's talk about it

Symptoms of pseudosciatica

(1) The pain is mainly confined to the sciatic nerve distribution area, the back of thigh, the posterolateral side of leg and foot. Patients with severe pain can show a unique posture; Waist flexion, knee flexion, toe landing. If the lesion is located in the nerve root, the pain will be aggravated when the pressure in the spinal canal increases (cough, exertion).

(2) The degree of muscle weakness may vary greatly according to the cause of disease, the location of lesion and the degree of damage. There may or may not be tenderness of the sciatic nerve trunk at the sciatic notch.

(3) The presence of sciatic nerve stretch sign, Lasegue sign and its allele sign is often parallel to the severity of pain. The sign of sciatic nerve root or nerve trunk disappeared under local anesthesia. Achilles tendon reflex decreased or disappeared, and knee reflex increased due to stimulation.

matters needing attention

Try not to wear high-heeled shoes, and don't wear short skirts and trousers in cold weather to prevent frostbite and damage muscles and nerves. More functional exercise, such as lying position, bicycle trampling activities, can enhance the muscle strength of the back, prevent sciatica.
