What sciatica feels like

Sciatica usually causes pain travelling from the lower back to buttock, thigh, leg or foot. It may be associated with numbness, tingling or weakness due to nerve irritation or compression.

A slip disc is one common cause, but not every back pain is a disc problem. Examination helps identify warning signs and the likely source of pain.
