What symptom does sciatica have

summary

Since last year, I began to feel hip pain. Sometimes it's hard to sit down and stand up. Recently, this symptom has become more and more serious, and it's difficult to walk. Sometimes it's very painful to lie down. The hospital diagnosed sciatica, and after taking a lot of drugs, it's obvious that the feeling has improved. Let me share with you the experience of some symptoms of sciatica.

What symptom does sciatica have

Symptom 1: pain: symptoms of sciatica. Typical cases are persistent or paroxysmal pain radiating from lumbosacral region through buttock, back of thigh and posterolateral side of leg to plantar.

Symptom 2: tenderness point: no matter what the cause of sciatica, there will be many obvious tenderness points, which not only causes acute pain immediately, but also radiates downward to the foot.

Symptom 3: muscle atrophy: there is no muscle atrophy in the early stage of sciatica, and mild muscle atrophy can be seen in the lateral leg in the late stage. Achilles tendon reflex can be enhanced in the acute inflammatory stage, and it will decline or disappear after a long time.

matters needing attention

I would also like to emphasize that the long-term bad posture is an indirect cause of sciatica. Most of the chairs we sit in when we work are straight backed. If we use the computer again, our hands will stretch forward and the chance of desk work will increase, which will bring burden to our spine.
