Sciatica, or neuropathy, is typically characterized as pain that originates in your lower back or buttock region and travels into one or both legs. Sciatic nerve pain can vary in two different ways: in intensity and frequency. Patients describe their Sciatica pain as achy, dull, sharp, “toothache-like,” and as “pins and needles” feeling similar to electric shocks. Some patients also describe sensations of burning, numbness, and tingling.
