Lower back pain
Pain in your lower back is typically the first symptom of sciatica. This condition is usually characterized as radiating and deep, even though it could also occur as a tingling feeling. It is triggered when the spinal disc herniation presses on one of your sacral nerve roots. In fact, this is also the main cause of nearly 90% of sciatica cases. Pain medications are the most common treatment options for this condition. It often takes a few weeks before the symptom can improve. [5]
