10 Sciatica Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Weak Knees
In addition to pain, numbness and burning sensations, sciatica can also manifest itself with weakness. Sufferers can sometimes feel as though they just don’t have the strength to walk, and just standing up can be a significant challenge. It can affect the whole leg but is usually found in only one leg. It doesn’t cause a complete loss of movement but is enough to inhibit mobility significantly.
While people are often likely to seek medical help if they are experiencing pain, they are likely to be reluctant to do so with symptoms of weakness. Weakness, however, is a more alarming symptom medically so you should waste no time in seeking help when experiencing such symptoms.
