Causes of sciatica in both legs.
Sciatic nerve pain down both legs.
In the distant past i had widespread lower back and leg pain which was blamed on my 2 lumbar herniated discs and advanced degenerative disc disease.
This type of nerve damage is often related to diabetes.
Small nerves in the legs can become damaged causing burning pain tingling or numbness in the foot or lower leg.
Bilateral sciatica in both legs can be caused by any number of conditions that affect the nerve roots which will eventually form the sciatic nerve l4 l5 s1 s2 and s3 as well as conditions that affect the fully formed sciatic nerve itself.
Pain that radiates from your lower lumbar spine to your buttock and down the back of your leg is the hallmark of sciatica.
You might feel the discomfort almost anywhere along the nerve pathway but it s especially likely to follow a path from your low back to your buttock and the back of your thigh and calf.
