What does sciatica pain in the foot feel like?

Yes, It can lead to your foot which caused you pain, while walking or standing. Sciatica pain is typically felt like a persistent burning sensation or shooting pain that radiates down the front or back of the thigh, leg, and/or feet from the lower back or buttock. Numbness in the back of the leg may accompany sciatica pain.

Irritation of the nerve root or compression of the sciatic nerve originating in the back can cause pain to radiate down the length of the nerve and into the feet. Managing the sciatica pain originating at the lumbar spine should alleviate your symptoms of shooting pain in the feet. A physical therapist can assist you in managing these symptoms by treating the origin of the pain, which is the lumbar spine. This can be accompanied with gentle stretching exercises for the legs and lower back.
