The sciatic nerve is located in the lower back and extends down the back of each leg. Pain is caused when a disc has protruded and puts pressure on a nerve called the radicular nerve. This forms the start of the sciatic nerve. The pain experienced can be as simple as tingling or a weakness/numbness sort of feeling. This travels down the leg and usually goes into the lower leg and then back up again. Sciatica nerve pain relief is non-surgical in most cases. The good news is that the nerve tissue sort of regenerates over time and heals itself. This does take some time, though, and can be weeks or even months before healing is complete. The bad news is that there will be pain along the way as healing occurs. It is not an overnight thing, folks.Another type of nerve pain is what is called neuropathy pain. Unlike the sciatic nerve pain earlier mentioned, neuropathy pain cannot be traced to a central cause or location of nerve damage. Nerve pain relief is no more than a management of the pain through medications. There are many possible causes of but the symptoms are usually one of coldness, a tingling "pins and needles" sort of sensation, complete numbness or even itching. The causes of neuropathy pain are also as varied as the diagnoses. Surgery, spinal cord injury, diabetes, and cancer are some of these causes.
