What causes right sciatica?

The right sciatica may be caused by lumbar disc herniation compressing the nerve root or piriformis syndrome. Lumbar disc herniation is mainly caused by degenerative changes in the lumbar spine, dehydration of the nucleus pulposus tissue, reduction in the volume of the disc, increased mobility, backward protrusion, compression of the spinal nerve root symptoms. Clinical manifestations can be low back pain, limited lumbar mobility, radiation pain, numbness, fatigue of the lower limbs, buttocks, thighs, and calves. Piriformis syndrome is mainly caused by trauma or strain and congenital anatomical variation of sciatic nerve, resulting in compression of sciatic nerve at the outlet of piriformis muscle, resulting in symptoms. Clinical manifestations can be radiation pain and numbness of buttocks and lower limbs. The above conditions are recommended to go to the orthopedics department of the hospital for X-ray, CT and MRI examinations to make sure the diagnosis is treated.
