Lower back pain that radiates down the leg — dull, sharp, or like "pins and needles."
Sciatica is characterized by pain in the lower back that radiates down one or both legs — dull, achy, sharp, or like "pins and needles." Onset is generally gradual and not necessarily associated with a previous event.
The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body. When it is irritated or compressed in the lower back or buttock, pain can travel all the way to the foot.
