If you feel a tingling or burning pain in your leg after sitting or standing for too long, this could be a sign of poor circulation, or it could be caused by sciatica, which is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve in the lower back. In fact, sciatica caused by an actual sciatic nerve injury is fairly rare and generally refers to any pain that originates in the lower back and affects the legs. Often, sciatica affects only one leg at a time, and some patients describe the pain as burning, electric shock, tingling, or numbness, which can be unbearable. Most sciatica cases resolve with time and self-care, however, if the pain develops into serious complications, such as leg weakness or bowel or bladder problems, surgery may need to be considered for effective treatment.
Risk factors for sciatica include:
- Age: The bone tissue and discs in the spine wear down with normal aging. As a result, your nerves are at greater risk of being compressed.
- Obesity: Being overweight puts constant pressure on your spine, leading to back pain and several other back problems.
- Sedentary: Sedentary people are more likely to develop sciatica. Injury/Previous Injury: Injuries to the lower back or spine can cause sciatica.
- Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can affect blood flow, increasing the risk of sciatic nerve damage and inflammation.
Ways to relieve sciatica include:
- Apply a hot or cold compress to the area of concern – use a cold compress for the first few days to relieve pain and swelling, then switch to a heating pad to promote blood flow and relieve muscle tension, 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day. If this method doesn’t work, you can switch between cold packs and hot packs and see the results.
- Do Gentle Exercises – Exercise is vital to your health, jogging, yoga, and swimming are popular exercises you can do, and proper stretching is also a good idea. If you’re always sitting in an office during the day, try stretching your lower back as a simple exercise, as that might squeeze your sciatic nerve.
- Take over-the-counter medicines – You can also take over-the-counter medicines to reduce pain and inflammation, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and more. Make sure not to exceed the recommended dose unless specifically directed by your doctor.
- Start a treatment plan – Physical therapy can help you correct poor posture, and a therapist can give you specific instructions based on your health to reduce pain and help strengthen your muscles.
