Swelling and inflammation
Those people with sciatica often have inflammation. This condition might cause swelling and pain in your lower limbs, which are often sharp and fleeting. The most effective way to diagnose the condition is to perform neurological and physical exams such as a computed tomography scan or X-ray. When the swelling and sciatic pain does not improve within a 3-month or 90-day timeframe, your doctor might prescribe a combination of physiotherapy, pain relievers, and anti-inflammatories to relieve the pressure and put the displaced disk back to the right place.
