Sciatica (Chronic Nerve Pain)

Sciatica, or chronic nerve pain, happens when the sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated—usually from a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or muscle tightness. This can cause sharp or burning pain in the lower back, hip, and down the leg, often making walking, sitting, or sleeping uncomfortable.
