Sciatica causes a shooting or stabbing type of pain that can go from your lower back, through your hip, and down your leg, sometimes right to your foot.
Other symptoms of sciatica include tingling, numbness, and weakness in the affected leg, pain in the buttock, and muscle control problems. In most cases, sciatica only affects one leg, so your other leg is likely to be fine.
