Leg pain is the most common factor these days, which is caused due to many factors. Sometimes, it starts from the hip, and the pain ends slowly in the back of the leg. Various reasons can cause this pain; it can be due to fracture or nerve compression. Older people most often face these issues as their bones lose strength. So here in this article, I will highlight this particular topic.
How Does It Happen?
So, in our body, there is a nerve called the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the human body that starts from the lower back and ends in each leg. Now, if any issue arises in this particular nerve, if it gets compressed or damaged, it causes pain in many ways.
Sciatica pain (ปวดสะโพกร้าวลงขา, which is the term in Thai) can appear due to a herniated disc, or we call it slipped disc. So, as we know, these discs are present in the spine and act as cushions. So if any of them got damaged, the pain crawls into the sciatic nerve if any accident happens, like a sudden fall or accident that also gives rise to this pain, which is a bit excruciating.
If there is a spinal canal disease, then Sciatica pain will happen, resulting in numbness of one leg by which you will be unable to sit or stand properly.
What Are The Symptoms?
- Extreme pain that evolves in the lower back and sweeps down the leg.
- Weakness in the leg.
- Excessive pain will minimize the ability to walk or stand.
- Numbness or tingling sensation for an extended period.
How To Cure This Pain?
Suppose the pain remains for a more extended period. In that case, it’s better to consult a physician immediately, and if it vanishes away after a few hours, then it’s a kind of signal trying to notify you to consult a doctor, and care must be taken.
There are many painkillers or antibiotics that can only be consumed by consulting a medical practitioner. If the pain remains, then treatment is a must, and after the surgery, follows the instructions strictly as directed by the doctors. Heavy weightlifting or excessive physical exercises are strictly prohibited after surgery.
If the situation has not worsened enough, then there are yoga or stretching exercises that will help you to release your pain.
Conclusion
Sciatica is a painful condition that usually happens due to causes, as mentioned above, so consult an experienced physician to ease the pain smoothly through proper diagnosis and treatment.
