What are signs of sciatica?

Answer:

Sciatica is usually a pinching of the siatic nerve. Symptoms usually include a sharp pain extending from the lower back down one leg. The pain can be enough to be almost paralyzing.

The best way to treat it is bed rest at first, with ice packs optional. After a day or two, heat pads and exercise (not together) are the best ways to heal sciatica.
