Sciatica

Radical sciatica is a more common secondary neuralgia, which is mainly caused by the sciatic nerve being compressed by surrounding tissues or lesions. The onset varies with the cause. The most common lumbar disc herniation usually develops acutely or subacutely under the inducement of exertion, bending or strenuous activity. A few are chronic onset.
