SCIATIC NEURALGIA Meaning and Definition

1. Sciatic neuralgia, also known as sciatica, is a medical condition characterized by pain that begins in the lower back or buttock area and radiates down the back of the leg. The term is derived from the word "sciatic," referring to the sciatic nerve, which is the longest and thickest nerve in the human body, and "neuralgia," which refers to severe pain caused by damage or irritation of a nerve.

   Sciatic neuralgia occurs when there is pressure or irritation on the sciatic nerve, typically caused by a herniated disc (a protrusion of the cushioning discs between the vertebrae). This compression of the nerve can lead to inflammation, numbness, tingling, and sharp shooting pain that can range from mild to severe. The pain is typically felt along the path of the nerve, traveling from the lower back, through the buttock, and down the back of the leg.

   Symptoms of sciatic neuralgia often include difficulty in walking, sitting, or standing for extended periods, as well as weakness or a burning sensation in the affected leg. It may be aggravated by certain movements, such as bending or twisting the spine. Treatment for sciatic neuralgia may involve a combination of medication to manage pain and inflammation, physical therapy exercises to improve flexibility and strength, as well as changes in lifestyle habits. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be required to relieve the pressure on the sciatic nerve.
