Sciatica Symptoms From Lumbar Disc Herniation -
A lumbar disc herniation can irritate a nearby nerve root.
When inflammation develops around the nerve, the signal traveling into the leg may become sensitive.
If the neural foramen becomes narrowed, the nerve may have less space to exit the spine.
This can lead to tingling, numbness, radiating pain, or weakness along the sciatic pathway.
Symptoms may travel from the lower back into the buttock, thigh, calf, or foot.
Persistent numbness, progressive weakness, or worsening leg pain should be assessed by a qualified healthcare professional.
