10 Spondylosis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Sciatica
Spondylosis will sometimes affect the sciatic nerve. This nerve runs from the lower back, down the leg, and into the foot. When this nerve is affected, it can lead to pain in the lower back area and in the hips, and it can also cause shooting pain to travel down the legs and even down to the feet.
The pain will usually only be felt down one leg and the pain can also get worse should the patient cough or sneeze. It is often overlooked as simply being standard back pain, but pain shooting down the leg can help to set it apart.
